Factors determining cervical spine sagittal balance in asymptomatic adults: correlation with spinopelvic balance and thoracic inlet alignment.

TLDR
T1 slope was a key factor determining cervical spine sagittal balance and both spinopelvic balance and TI alignment have a significant influence on cervical spine Sagittal balance via T1 slope, but TIA had a stronger effect than TK.

Relationship Between T1 Slope and Cervical Alignment Following Multilevel Posterior Cervical Fusion Surgery: Impact of T1 Slope Minus Cervical Lordosis.

TL;DR: This study showed that disability of the neck increased with cervical sagittal malalignment following surgical reconstruction and a greater T1S-CL mismatch was associated with a greater degree of cervical malal alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in Sagittal Alignment Parameters Based on Age: A Prospective Study of Asymptomatic Volunteers Using Full-Body Radiographs.

TL;DR: Age-based normative sagittal alignment parameters in the adult spine with complete visualization from the occiput to the feet are described and compensatory changes that occur to maintain sagittal balance are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Influence of Age and Sex on Cervical Spinal Alignment Among Volunteers Aged Over 50.

TL;DR: Sagittal parameters of cervical spine were significantly worse in males than females, helping to explain the greater prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy among elderly males.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of T1 Slope on the Cervical Sagittal Balance in Degenerative Cervical Spine: An Analysis Using Kinematic MRI.

TL;DR: Cervical spine kMRI of 83 patients with degenerative cervical spine conditions was analyzed and cranial tilt was the cervical parameter most strongly correlated with SVA C2–C7, and thus may be a good parameter to assess decompensation of cervical sagittal balance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in Occipitocervical and Cervicothoracic Alignment Parameters Based on Age: A Prospective Study of Asymptomatic Volunteers Using Full-Body Radiographs.

TL;DR: Age-stratified normative values of novel occipitocervical, cervical, and cervicothoracic alignment parameters are presented using a novel biplanar radiographic imaging technique to provide surgeons with an intuitive way to account for the position of the orbit when planning cervical deformity correction.

Pelvic incidence: a fundamental pelvic parameter for three-dimensional regulation of spinal sagittal curves

TL;DR: An anatomical parameter, the pelvic incidence, appears to be the main axis of the sagittal balance of the spine, which controls spinal curves in accordance with the adaptability of the other parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classification of the normal variation in the sagittal alignment of the human lumbar spine and pelvis in the standing position.

TL;DR: To describe, quantify, and classify common variations in the sagittal alignment of the spine, sacrum, and pelvis may help to discover the association between spinal balance and the development of degenerative changes in the spine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiographic analysis of the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine in asymptomatic subjects.

TL;DR: The T9 sagittal offset, reflecting the sagittal balance of the spine, was dependent on three separate factors: a linear combination of the pelvic incidence, maximum lumbar lordosis, and sacral slope; the pelvic tilt; and the thoracic kyphosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Barycentremetric study of the sagittal shape of spine and pelvis: the conditions required for an economic standing position.

TL;DR: Basic data is provided suggesting that there is a tendency to maintain the body in the most economical position in terms of muscle fatigue and vertebral strain and the way in which these loads vary when the spinal curves and the pelvic slope change is described.

Sagittal alignment of spine and pelvis regulated by pelvic incidence: standard values and prediction of lordosis

TL;DR: The biomechanical and clinical conditions of the standing posture (as in scoliosis, low back pain, spondylisthesis, spine surgery, obesity and postural impairments) can be studied by comparing the measured lordosis with the predicted lordosis.
