Postural Abnormalities on the Sagittal Plane in Parkinson’s Disease and Therapeutic Role of the K1 Posture Keeper Shirt Evaluated by 3D Motion Analysis
Source abstract
Abstract
Postural abnormalities in the sagittal plane are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and increase the risk of falls. Previous studies have reported short-term benefit of corrective corsets in PD patients assessed by clinical and instrumental methods, while long-term effects on sagittal posture in upright standing and during walking remain unexplored. Fifteen PD patients with postural abnormalities on the sagittal plane, evaluated via the NeuroPostureApp, and ten healthy subjects matched for age and BMI were assessed by 3D motion analysis in upright posture. Then, the PD patients were evaluated with and without the K1 Posture Keeper during standing and walking at baseline (T0) and after three months of use (T1). The results showed an anteriorization of the head–cervical region with respect to the trunk and a whole-body misalignment in PD patients compared to healthy controls. The use of the K1 Posture Keeper induced a back shift of the nasion with a better alignment of the head with respect to the trunk, pelvis, and feet in upright standing and during walking, underlining an improvement in the sagittal alignment of the entire body in PD. These findings showed the therapeutical role of K1 Posture Keeper on sagittal posture in static and dynamic conditions, potentially due to proprioceptive reorganization.
