Camptocormia is an axial postural deformity characterised by abnormal
thoracolumbar spinal flexion. The symptom usually presents while standing,
walking or exercising and is alleviated while sitting, lying in a recumbent
position, standing against a wall or using walking support. There is no consensus
on the degree of thoracolumbar flexion to define camptocormia. However, most
authors usually use an arbitrary number of at least 45° flexion of the
thoracolumbar spine when the individual is standing or walking. Aetiologies of
camptocormia are heterogeneous, and Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of its many
causes. The prevalence of camptocormia in PD ranges from 3% to 18%. Central and
peripheral mechanisms might both contribute to its pathogenesis. Although there
is no established consensus for treatment of camptocormia in PD, there are
non-pharmacological, pharmacological and surgical approaches that can be used.
