My mom has also been leaning toward one side and slouching only this past year. I had no idea it was related to her Parkinson's! I thought it was an unrelated back condition. We have been taking her to physical therapy religiously for the past 5 months, with no real change. My mom also has dementia, so it is hard to get/convince her to do her sets of exercises at home. If anyone has any suggestions on how to better this condition, I would greatly love to hear them!
Kindly,
Veronica from NYC, cg for my mom Matilde 77/73/??

I find this quite interesting. My husband has been leaning toward one
side and slouching more and more this year. I've been so surprised and this
sheds some light on the problem. We will be seeing a new neurologist and it
will be interesting to see what he has to say. This has also seemed to
have an effect on his balance and "freezing". Thank you for pointing this
out. and thank you to Rayilyn for sharing the article. Dot cgBill

I often think 'new research' puts into writing things we have all known
for a
long time.
Since PWP have a tendancy to lean on one side, they usually end up with a
scoliosis which gets fixated with the years
