Common
sites of musculoskeletal problems were the lower back, shoulder and knee in
that order. The lower back was the site of musculoskeletal problems in
nearly half of people with Parkinson's Disease. The shoulder and knee were
affected far less often. Among the past diagnoses associated with
musculoskeletal problems, frozen shoulder, low back pain, osteoporosis and
fracture were more common in people with Parkinson's Disease. Older age,
being female, and having a higher score on the Unified Parkinson's Disease
Rating Scale were associated with more musculoskeletal problems.
