What is Camptocornia?

CAMPTOCORMIA is a condition in which the fuselage is bent forward in an extreme and unusual position. It is assumed that it includes muscles that extend the spine and usually do not have any other symptoms except the back of the discomfort that occurs only in some patients. The abnormal position of the spine usually increases when walking or standing, but disappears when one lies. Camptocornia is associated with a number of different disorders, including Parkinson's disease and Tourette's syndrome.

The name of Camptocornia was considered to be invented by Alexandre-Ochille Souques, a neurologist from France to describe the posture of the soldiers who moved along the trenches of the First World War in position. Before receiving the name, the abnormal posture was recognized in 1818 by an English surgeon called Brodie. Initially, doctors thought that the disorder was caused by vertebral damage, in combination with the patient's hysterical reaction, but the elimination is no longer considered to be a psychological cause.

It is known that a disease that affects the nerves andMuscles, can lead to mamptocony. The condition is seen in some dystonic disorders. In dystonic disorders, the muscles seem to be withdrawn themselves, either individually or in groups, causing the person to occupy odd positions or move repeatedly.

CAMPTOCORMIA can be a feature of Parkinson's disease, with more than 10 percent of patients experiencing this unusual flexion of the spine. Parkinson's disease is a disorder that gradually deteriorates and in which patients experience symptoms of slow movement, stiff muscles and walking problems. Doctors are not sure whether Camptocornia is an extreme version of the stooped posture that develops in Parkinson, and is not sure if the condition is more likely to be associated with severe Parkinson's disease.

Cowed patients have never experienced any symptoms of camptocornia except abnormal posture, but in some cases the lower back may be painful. NoxThere is no effective treatment of camptocornia, but a number of therapies have been tested, including surgery, drugs and physiotherapy. Several patients showed improvement in steroid drugs. The procedure known as deep stimulation of the brain in research studies seemed promising and in the future may develop into reliable treatment. In deep stimulation of the brain, a device similar to a pacemaker similar to the chest skin is implanted and this sends electrical pulses through the wires to some areas of the brain.
