Camptocormia is a disabling axial postural deformity that may occur in advanced Parkinson’s disease and can significantly affect pain, gait, and functional independence. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with Parkinson’s disease who presented with severe anterior flexion of the trunk, chronic back pain, gait impairment, and functional limitation despite previous deep brain stimulation. Clinical and radiological assessment revealed marked sagittal imbalance, spinal deformity, and the presence of an implanted deep brain stimulation system. A rehabilitation program was prescribed, including postural correction, stretching, strengthening exercises, balance training, gait re-education, and spinal orthotic support. After 15 rehabilitation sessions, pain decreased from 7/10 to 5/10 on the visual analog scale. This case highlights the possible persistence of axial postural disorders despite deep brain stimulation and emphasizes the role of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the multidisciplinary management of camptocormia in Parkinson’s disease.
