Abstract
Methods 64 consecutive PD patients were included: 53 males, 11 females; 69.5±8.1 years; 5.6±4.1 years of disease (YOD); Hoehn Yahr (H&Y) 2.4±1.1, UPDRS-M 16.1±12.5. The clinical assessment included HY and UPDRS-M score, Pain NRS 0-10 and trunk rotation in bending (ATR). Lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), scoliosis curves (SC), spinosacral angle (SSA), spinopelvic angle (SPA), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS) and pelvic tilt (PT) were radiographically assessed. Patients have been compared according to the presence of SC >10° (PDts) Cobb or the absence of SC (PDns).
Highlights
Information concerning scoliosis in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its correlations with sagittal balance (SB) is sparse.(152.4±20.3 vs. 153.4±12.5°) were not different (p>0.05)
Patients have been compared according to the presence of scoliosis curves (SC) >10° (PDts) Cobb or the absence of SC (PDns)
No differences have been detected for Hoehn Yahr (HY) score (2.7±1.2 vs. 2.6±1.6) and NRS (29.6±22.6 vs. 19.4±28.1)
Summary
Information concerning scoliosis in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its correlations with sagittal balance (SB) is sparse.(152.4±20.3 vs. 153.4±12.5°) were not different (p>0.05). Information concerning scoliosis in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its correlations with sagittal balance (SB) is sparse. (152.4±20.3 vs 153.4±12.5°) were not different (p>0.05). PI (57.8±11.1 vs 53.9±13.1°) and PT (23.6±13.7 vs 17.6±8.6°) were slightly but not statistically different, while SS was not (35.3±12.1 vs 36.0±8.5°). Purpose The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of scoliosis in PD patients and the existing correlations with SB in relation to the spinopelvic morphology
