title: [Flexion-extension movements in the adult thoracic spine].
abstract: The flexion-extension mobility of the thoracic spine was studied by examining 120 patients who had no complaints about the thoracic spine. Its quantitative characteristics that assess the contribution of some segments to the movements of the thoracic spine were developed. Sexual differences of the developed quantitative characteristics of the motor function of the thoracic spine were defined. The specific features of changes in the motor function were analyzed in adult females and males.
