Somatoscopic traits of human

Česky English

back - scoliotic body posture

The scoliotic body posture is evaluated from the dorsal view of the torso. We compare the spinal curvature with an imaginary line leading through body axis. In the first phase of the evaluation, we try to determine if the proband’s body posture exhibits scoliotic posture or not. Then we try to determine the extent of the scoliosis. This trait has three developmental degrees: 1. no scoliosis, 2. slight development (up to 10°), 3. strong scoliosis (above 10°).
