Abstract
n patients with Parkinson disease (PD), postural abnormalities and increased muscle tonus lead to musculoskeletal I problems. The incidence of such problems was significantly higher in patients with PD than in an age-matched control group comprising patients with stroke and brain tumor. Low back pain (LBP) in particular was reported more frequently by patients with PD; in approximately 50%, it negatively affected their quality of life and activities of daily living (ADL). It is difficult to treat LBP in patients with PD, and the results of surgery to address their spinal diseases are unsatisfactory.
