Gait Instability and Compensatory Mechanisms in Parkinson’s Disease Patients With Camptocormia: An Exploratory Study
Most PD+CC patients presented vertical gait instability, increased fall risk, and adopted compensatory strategies involving greater lateral COM shift and a wider base of support, with these trends intensifying as trunk flexion angles increased. These findings may guide targeted interventions for gait instability in PD+CC patients.
