Prevalence and Characteristics of Postural Deformities in Thai Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics and quality of life (QoL) in Thai Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with postural deformities (PostD) and…Postural Abnormalities in Parkinson’s Disease: an Epidemiological and Clinical Multicenter Study
Objective: To evaluate the overall prevalence of postural abnormalities (PA) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to assess their association with demographic and clinical…Spontaneous Pisa Syndrome in a Patient with Early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease
Objective: We report a case of early-onset AD where spontaneous Pisa syndrome predominated. Background: Pisa syndrome, an involuntary, reversible lateral deviation of the trunk, was…Effect of lidocaine injection into the external oblique muscle on camptocormia and the lateral slant posture in patient with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Camptocormia (CC) is one of the abnormal posture of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, described as a severe forward flexion of the trunk. In this…Pisa syndrome in Parkinson’s disease: Evidence for bilateral vestibulospinal dysfunction
Objective: To evaluate vestibular involvement in patients with Parkinson's disease and postural abnormalities. Background: Pisa syndrome (PS) is a peculiar postural complication typically occurring at…Does the Basal Ganglia Dysfunction Affect Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson’s Disease?
Objective: We elucidated whether and how asymmetric basal ganglia dysfunction is associated with the generation of Pisa syndrome (PS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To assess…Rolipram, a PDE-IV inhibitor protects against experimental Parkinsonism in mice
Objective: Rolipram, a specific inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase IV (PDE IV), has recently been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in an Alzheimer transgenic mouse model…Verticality Perception Differentially Correlates with Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To elucidate the contribution of verticality misperception to the generation of Pisa syndrome (PS) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: PD patients with…Correction of minimal oculomotor disorders improves forward and lateral axial dystonia in Pakinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the possible improvement of lateral and forward axial dystonia in PD patients following correction of minimal oculomotor abnormalities including version and saccades…Characterization of Pisa syndrome in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: This study has two main objectives. The first objective is to elucidate the effects of distraction and alteration of sensorimotor inputs (visual and proprioceptive…
