Osteopathic Manual Treatment of Postural Abnormality, Pain, and Autonomic Control of Cardiac Function in People With Parkinson's Disease and Truncal Dystonia
In this study, we will determine if posture and heart rate variability will significantly
improve in Parkinsons disease with camptocormia after osteopathic manual treatments dystonia.

In this study, we will determine if posture and heart rate variability will significantly
improve in Parkinsons disease with camptocormia after receiving 8-weekly sessions of the
osteopathic manual treatments for truncal flexion dystonia as measured by the distance of the
external acoustic meatus from a plumb-line to lateral malleolus, spinal X ray, and heart rate
variability.
