My dad has terrible nausea, and I am wondering if it might be due to the vestibular portion of the brain possibly being affected in Parkinson's, which possibly might be why there is a forward posture (total speculation). Here is some of the research I found, plus a few articles on the use of galvanic vestibular stimulation in combatting nausea from virtual reality:

"We conclude that a system of vestibular sensory autoregulation exists and that this probably involves central and peripheral mechanisms, possibly through vestibular efferent regulation. We propose that failure of these regulatory mechanisms at different levels could lead to disorders of movement perception and balance control during standing."
