Background/Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, leads to motor and non-motor impairments, affecting quality of life. Camptocormia can be one of the motor signs of PD, characterized by a severe and abnormal forward flexion of the thoracolumbar spine that typically occurs when walking or standing. The following study aims to verify whether postural gymnastics can be an effective treatment for trunk control, balance, activities of daily living, and general well-being in patients with early-stage PD and camptocormia. Methods: Nine participants (mean age 67.7 ± 7.8) with early PD (Hoehn and Yahr Scale ≤ 2) received 10 biweekly physiotherapy sessions. Outcomes were measured using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) along with trunk mobility and muscle tests according to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. Results: Statistically significant results were noted in the PDQ-39 mobility, ADLs and emotional well-being subscales and in the BBS; statistically significant improvements were also seen in trunk mobility and muscle strength. Conclusions: This study shows that the postural gymnastic treatment, according to Souchard, in patients with PD's camptocormia has obtained good results and has the potential timprove mobility and balance, encouraging and motivating patients in their rehabilitation journeys.

Gymnastic Treatment for Joint and Muscle Disabilities.

In this little book the author sketches his method of gymnastic treatment of joint and muscle disabilities among wounded soldiers, employing apparatus of the simplest sort, and having in view always the quickest possible return of the man to his military duties or, if permanently invalided, to the best possible working and earning condition. While giving due credit to massage, passive motion, either manual or mechanical, he deprecates the prolonged keeping of these patients under such treatment, and insists that much time is wasted; frequently the patient is hospitalized and allowed to deteriorate, when by proper gymnastic methods not only is he educated in the "will to do" for himself, but practical and remarkable improvement is quickly arrived at by the method he teaches. Every detail of the gymnastic methods employed should be familiar to the one who attempts to apply them. They are simple but effective. The author says

MASSAGE IN CASE OF APPENDICITIS.

All authors on internal medicine whom I have studied on this subject (Niemeyer, Eichhorst, Strümpell, Kunze, etc.) regard it unanimously to be the first rule in the treatment of appendicitis, to let the patient have complete immobility, not even allowing examination with palpation. In all the papers on gymnastics which I have perused. I have not found a single word mentioning the benefit or even the possibility of a gymnastic treatment for the disease in question. As far as I know, the only publication on the subject to be found is in the report from the Swedish Medical Congress in Norrköping, 1887, where Dr. A. Wide reports about four cases which he has treated. During the last years some masseurs have made use of massage in this disease, regarding the treatment as often very serviceable, although always more or less dangerous. I wish to present my experience on the subject.
