In an afflicted individual, the abnormal bending consists of an anterior flexion greater than 45 degrees.[3] Because of this bending and the physical limitations caused by the conditions associated with the disease, it is usually impossible for an afflicted person to achieve a fully erect position. In addition, patients suffering from camptocormia often experience low back pain as a result of the condition. BSS often appears in individuals afflicted with Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophies, endocrine disorders, inflammatory conditions (myositis), or mitochondrial myopathies.[1] As previously mentioned, the disease is more common in older individuals.
