Abstract
|
|
|
|
Postural abnormalities and gait disturbances are frequent and disabling complication of Parkinson’s disease. The postural abnormalities include camptocormia, antecollis, retrocollis, PISA syndrome and scoliosis. The gait disturbances include the gait festination and the freezing of gait. The evidence to date suggests that postural abnormalities and gait disturbances have a multi-factorial pathophysiology and are poorly improved by levodopa medication. Improved understanding of the mechanism underlying postural abnormality and gait disturbance in Parkinson’s disease might ultimately lead us to more comprehensive management strategies for these disabling and drug-refractory complications.
