Purpose. To evaluate the association between cervical sagittal alignment and thoracic/lumbopelvic sagittal alignment in healthy Japanese adults. Methods. 30 male and 22 female healthy adults aged 22 to 50 years were recruited. Spinal parameters were measured on radiographs, including the cervical sagittal vertical axis, sagittal vertical axis, C7 tilt angle, Ishihara index for cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral slope, pelvic tilt, and pelvic incidence. Results. The C7 tilt angle positively correlated with the Ishihara index (r=0.52, p<0.0001) and thoracic kyphosis (r=0.53, p<0.0001). The Ishihara index positively correlated with thoracic kyphosis (r=0.34, p=0.01) and C7 tilt angle (r=0.52, p<0.0001 Address correspondence and reprint requests to: Kenji Endo, Tokyo Medical University, Japan.

Women had less cervical lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, that is, a straighter cervico-thoracic sagittal alignment. Conclusion. In healthy Japanese adults, cervical sagittal alignment is associated with thoracic sagittal alignment but not with lumbopelvic alignment. Journal of Orthopaedic

“…Previous papers which assessed the relationship between neck and shoulder pain using SpinalMouse also reported lumber lordosis of patients with neck and shoulder pain was significantly larger than normal [21] Crosbie et al reported that the lumbar spinal range of motion is insignificant for arm movements and shows no association with any upper limb movement [4]. Although this result was the opposite of our results, many reports have shown that different conditions affect the pattern of arm elevation and the scapulohumeral rhythm [8] [10]- [12] [14] [15] [20].…”

“…In accordance with Vialle et al, we measured thoracic kyphosis angle (TK) and lumbar lordosis angle (LL) based on the graphic demonstration of the SpinalMouse [13]. TK was reported as the angle between the cranial end plate of T4 and the caudal end [21]. In this report, the location was divided into the following four places: 1: neck, 2: above the scapula, 3: interscapular area, and 4: on the scapula.…”

Background: The relationship between chronic neck and shoulder pain and posture remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic neck and shoulder pain and spinal sagittal alignment in standing posture in younger generation. Methods: Subjects included 57 females and 32 males (average age, 29.9 ± 5.7 years). All subjects were 20s or 30s. Spinal curvature was assessed using SpinalMouse. The subjects were also divided into a normal group (VAS zero group) and a pain group by VAS results. Statistical analysis was performed by Student's t-test. Significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results: The normal group and pain group included 29 and 60 subjects, respectively. In terms of location of pain, thirty-one subjects felt neck pain, 50 felt pain above the scapula, and 17 felt pain between the thoracic spine and scapula. Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis in the pain group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (p = 0.013 and p = 0.020, respectively). Thoracic kyphosis in subjects with neck pain or pain above scapula was significantly higher than that in subjects without pain (p = 0.0075 and p = 0.025, respectively). Lumbar lordosis in subjects with pain above the scapula or interscapula was significantly higher than that in subjects without pain (p = 0.016).

“…an evaluation of the key function of the spine musculature related to the development of the vertebrogenic algic syndrome. Tsuonda et al (27) found an influence of lumbar lordosis angle on the cervical spine pain and shoulder pain in a group of 329 volunteers with an average age of 65.5 years. The authors of this study showed in their previous study among dental practitioners with an average age of 38.9 years an influence on the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain by the lumbar lordosis angle, angulation of the sacrum and Th/L ratio (8).…”

This article is the second part of an evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) prevalence among dental students. As the majority of complaints are in the back region, there is an endeavor to analyze objectively the disorders in this region. One of the non-invasive and non-radiation methods is the spinal curve mapping using the Spinal Mouse® device (Idiag AG, Fehraltorf, Switzerland). The aim of this study was to determine a correlation between subjectively described complaints and the results of an objective examination of the spine using the Spinal Mouse® device. Information about the participants is given in the first part of the article. All the participants were examined with the Spinal Mouse® device in several body positions. Further, the Matthiass test was performed to evaluate neuromuscular stabilization of the axial skeleton in static conditions. Musculoskeletal pain occurred more often in students who had a higher range of motion (ROM) and had worse static stabilization of spine. Other assessed factors or measured parameters did not have any influence on musculoskeletal pain. Some of the parameters measured with the Spinal Mouse® device showed a correlation with the prevalence of musculoskeletal.
