People with Parkinson's disease may experience changes in posture, such as stooping or postural instability, which can lead to leaning forward. This is due to several motor symptoms, including:

- Axial rigidity: Stiffness and loss of flexibility in the neck and trunk.
- Bradykinesia: Delayed reaction time and slow movements.
- Changes in center of gravity: This can affect balance and make it difficult to walk upright.
- Impairment of reflexes: Reflexes that help with balance can be impaired.

These factors contribute to difficulties in maintaining an upright posture and can make walking more challenging.
