“…In contrast, we used Spinal Mouse to assess trunk bending angle. This device was an objective measurement tool for stooped posture in PD patients, with proven validity in the sagittal plane for stooped posture in PD patients12,13,14 ) . Additionally, this device allowed us to evaluate in detail, showing thoracic kyphosis angles and lumbar lordosis angles in addition to trunk bending angles.…”

[Purpose] The effect of physiotherapy on stooped posture in Parkinson’s disease patients remains to be clarified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether comprehensive physiotherapy-based rehabilitation can improve stooped posture in Parkinson’s disease patients. [Participants and Methods] The participants were Parkinson’s disease patients with stooped posture. Outpatients were assigned to the control group and inpatients to the postural rehabilitation group. The outcomes measured were trunk bending angle, lumbar lordosis, and thoracic kyphosis. Each group was assessed at baseline and 1 month later. [Results] Of 22 participants identified, 20 were included, with 10 participants in the postural rehabilitation group and 10 in the control group. The age in the postural rehabilitation group was significantly greater than that in the control group, while other parameters were comparable in both groups. After the month-long intervention, the trunk bending angle and lumbar lordosis were significantly improved in the postural rehabilitation group compared to the control group. [Conclusion] The results showed improvement in stooped posture in the postural rehabilitation group as compared to the control group. Furthermore, improvement of lumbar lordosis accompanied improvement of stooped posture. These findings suggest that comprehensive physiotherapy-based rehabilitation may improve stooped posture in Parkinson’s disease patients.

“…In addition to these factors, older adults with PD present marked postural changes in the anterior-posterior direction, along with rigidity and bradykinesia, which further hampers the participants' responses and consequently, interferes in postural balance 28 . Trunk flexion posture in these individuals is related to gait abnormalities, postural instability and greater vulnerability to falls 29 . The presence of postural instability is well established in individuals with PD 8 ; the literature, however, clarifies that healthy older individuals present a greater decline in balance when compared to young adults.…”

-The objective of this study was to compare postural balance among healthy older adults and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients during one-legged stance balance. We recruited 36 individuals of both sexes and divided them into two groups: healthy older adults (HG), and individuals with PD (PG). All the participants were assessed through a single-leg balance test, with eyes open, during 30 seconds (30 seconds of rest across trials) on a force platform. Balance parameters were computed from mean across trials to quantify postural control: center of pressure (COP) area and mean velocity in both directions of movement, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral. Significant differences between-group were reported for area of COP (P = 0.002) and mean velocity in anterior-posterior direction (P = 0.037), where poor postural control was related to PD patients rather than to healthy individuals. One-legged stance balance was a sensitive task used to discriminate poor postural control in Parkinson individuals.

“…Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar se a FFP está associada à independência funcional, mobilidade e qualidade de vida em sujeitos com DP. os joelhos; uma fita métrica foi usada para determinar a distância entre a parede e a protuberância occipital externa, sendo considerado normal o teste quando a cabeça encostar na parede [6,9]. Para avalia a independência funcional aplicou-se o Índice de Barthel é uma escala que determina o nível de independência de um indivíduo em relação ao desempenho das AVD básicas e fundamentais; os escores variaram de 0 a 100, sendo que 0 significa maior dependência e 100 total independência para realizar as tarefas do dia-a-dia e é válido e confiável para ser utilizado na população com DP [10].…”

Objetivo: Avaliar se a postura fletida (FFP) está associada à independência funcional, mobilidade e qualidade de vida em pacientes com doença de Parkinson (DP). Métodos: Estudo transversal e comparativo em Brasília/DF. Para avaliar a FFP, foi utilizado o teste de distância occipito-parede (DOP) e este foi comparado com medidas de força muscular (preensão palmar, extensão dorsal e membros inferiores), mobilidade funcional e qualidade de vida para verificar se há associações entre eles. Também foi verificado se havia correlação entre o estágio da doença, medido pela escala de Hoehn e Yahr (HY) e o tempo de diagnóstico. Resultados: Foram observadas correlações fortes entre DOP e HY, tempo de diagnóstico e qualidade de vida, e correlações moderadas entre marcadores de força muscular e mobilidade em indivíduos com DP. Conclusão: O FFP medida pelo DOP está fortemente associada com estágios de gravidade, tempo de diagnóstico e qualidade de vida e moderado com força muscular e mobilidade reduzida em pacientes com doença de Parkinson e representa uma medida simples e de baixo custo para a prática clínica.
