Central Pathophysiology and Brain Network Changes Related to Camptocormia in Parkinson's Disease
Increased central muscle drive to the paravertebral muscles in camptocormia patients may indicate a relatively simple compensatory strategy to overcome stooped posture, whereas the decreased interaction strength between the central coherent sources and the lack of brainstem involvement likely reflects the primary deficits in central postural control network, likely promoting the defective postural motor pattern in camptocormia. © 2025 The Author(s).
