Pathological postural postures in neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to analyze the data of the modern literature on pathological postural postures in neurodegenerative diseases. This review provides data on the prevalence, clinical presentation, and treatment of axial postural deformities in parkinsonism and other neurodegenerative diseases. It also discusses possible pathophysiological mechanisms that require further study. Postural pathological postures were divided into deformities in the sagittal or frontal plane in accordance with the plane in which the deformity predominates. The most common pathological postural positions in neurodegenerative diseases are camptocormia, Pisa syndrome, antecollis, retrocollis, and scoliosis. Epidemiological studies of pathological postural postures in various neurodegenerative diseases are necessary to understand the frequency of occurrence of these conditions in the population and are necessary to identify and describe new types of postures. The study of the pathomechanism of each specific pathological posture in a particular patient is necessary to understand the tactics of managing this patient. The use of rehabilitation regimens of drug and non-drug therapy, depending on the type of course and the severity of the pathological postural posture, will help prevent this often irreversible condition and reduce the number of complications, for example, falls in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
