Association of sagittal spinal alignment in the standing position with the masses and amounts of intramuscular non-contractile tissue of the trunk and lower extremity muscles in patients with Parkinson's disease
The results of this study suggested the association between a low lumbar lordosis angle in the standing position and low lumbar erector spinae and multifidus muscle thicknesses and between a high sacral anterior inclination angle in the standing position and low lumbar multifidus muscle thickness in patients with PD.
