To examine the heterogenous influence of verticality perception, we also identified the characteristics distinguishing between PD patients with PS who tilted toward the deviation of perceived verticality and those who did not. Subjective visual vertical (SVV) testing was performed in 54 PD patients with PS and 36 without PS to measure verticality perception. Other potential risk factors for PS were evaluated by assessing the asymmetry of motor symptoms, EMG activities of paraspinal muscles, bithermal caloric tests, back pain history, and Berg Balance Scale. Abnormal SVV (odds ratio (OR) 18.40, p\u2009=\u20090.006), postural imbalance (OR 0.71, p\u2009=\u20090.046), and unilateral EMG hyperactivity of paraspinal muscles (OR 39.62, p\u2009=\u20090.027) were independent contributors to PS. In subgroup analysis, EMG hyperactivity of paraspinal muscles contralateral to the leaning side and postural imbalance were associated with PD patients with PS who tilted toward the SVV deviation, whereas back pain was more frequent in those who did not. Verticality misperception is a potent risk factor for PS in PD and contributes differentially to PS depending on the congruence between its direction and PS direction, indicating distinct pathogenic roles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-20129-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,23]],"date-time":"2018-01-23T15:19:42Z","timestamp":1516720782000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson\u2019s Disease: Pathogenic Roles of Verticality Perception Deficits"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Young Eun","family":"Huh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kunhyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Won-Ho","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyoung","family":"Youn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seonwoo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin Whan","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"20129_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1100","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.25925","volume":"29","author":"A Castrioto","year":"2014","unstructured":"Castrioto, A., Piscicelli, C., Perennou, D., Krack, P. & Debu, B.
