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

Table 3

Severity of postural deformities in PD patients with and without ED.

	With ED	Without ED
No postural deformity	1	19
Mild postural deformities	12	18
Severe postural deformities	6	3

ED: executive dysfunction; UPDRS: Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale.
ED was defined as age-controlled standardized score <70 on the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome battery.
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.
Date were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test.
Postural deformities were significantly more severe in PD patients with ED ().
