Relationship between Postural Deformities and Frontal Function in Parkinson’s Disease

Table 2

Relationship between age-adjusted standardized BADS score and severity of postural deformities in patients with PD.

		Age-adjusted standardized BADS score
No postural deformity	20	97.5 (54, 123)	0.005
Mild postural deformities	30	76.5 (34, 124)
Severe postural deformities	9	64.0 (19, 109)
Post hoc tests
No postural deformity versus mild postural deformities			0.200
Mild postural deformities versus severe postural deformities			0.134
No postural deformity versus severe postural deformities			0.004

Data are expressed as median (minimum, maximum).
BADS: Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome; : number of patients; UPDRS: Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale.
UPDRS item 28 score of 0, 1, and 2–4 were used to define no postural deformity, mild postural deformities, and severe postural deformities, respectively.
values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test as appropriate.
Post hoc tests were performed to determine the significance of differences between the following combinations of PD groups: no postural deformity versus mild postural deformities, mild postural deformities versus severe postural deformities, and no postural deformity verus severe postural deformities.
Statistically significant ().
