Gait Analysis in Parkinsonian Subjects with PISA Syndrome Subjected to Treatment with Botulinum Toxin

Abstract

The aim was to evaluate the activation characteristics of the muscles involved in patients with Pisa Syndrome with surface electromy- ography (EMG) during walking after Botulinum Toxin TypeA treatment. Methods: 7 patients with Pisa Syndrome underwent Gait Analysis, according to the modified Davis protocol; Subsequently, the patients underwent myometric evaluation of the cervical dorsal and lumbar paravertebra lmuscles and were treated with Onabotulinum toxin typeA (BoTN/A); Conclusions: Our analysis highlights continuous muscle activity in the paravertebral muscles, especially contralateral to the flexion curve
