Abnormal Paravertebral Muscle Activity and Cervical Extensor Muscle Condition Affect Dynamic Spinal Balance during Gait in Dropped Head Syndrome
The thoracic paraspinal muscle activity failed to respond to the deterioration of the thoracic anterior tilt, indicating a notable contribution to postural endurance during gait and to DHS pathogenesis. Evaluating the condition of the C-DEM could be an alternative for evaluating dynamic postural endurance and is clinically important when considering patient complaints regarding difficulties in daily activities.
