title: Classification of pelvic and spinal postural patterns in upright position. Specific cases of scoliotic patients.
abstract: The 3D analyses of spinal shapes and postural features give a great number of data. The global patient posture includes his pelvic morphology and tilting, and his pelvic and spinal balance. In some scoliotic spines, the spinal curve belongs to a unique plane. In other scoliotic patients, the spinal curve shows several plane regions. The spinal structures are modeled from parameters locating the structural planes and by values of maximum curvatures. Some parameters have been introduced for describing the postural patterns and the spinal deformities. For each tested patient, each major parameter has been characterized by an index of class.
