Se kilde til Pisa syndromet

*Abnormal postures of the trunk are a typical feature of Parkinson's disease (PD).
*These include Pisa syndrome (PS), a tonic lateral flexion of the trunk associated with slight rotation along the sagittal plane.
*PD patients with PS showed a significantly higher score of disease asymmetry compared with the control group.
*In the majority of patients with PS, trunk bending was contralateral to the side of symptom onset.
*EMG showed abnormal tonic hyperactivity on the side of the deviation in the paravertebral thoracic muscles and in the abdominal oblique muscles.
*CT of the lumbar paraspinal muscles showed muscular atrophy more marked on the side of the deviation, with a craniocaudal gradient.
*PS may represent a complication of advanced PD in a subgroup of patients who show more marked asymmetry of disease and who have detectable hyperactivity of the dorsal paravertebral muscles on the less affected side.
*This postural abnormality deserves attention and proper early treatment to prevent comorbidities and pain.
