shoulders - slope of the shoulders

The slope of the shoulders is evaluated from the ventral view of the evaluated person’s upper torso. The division into categories is performed on the basis of the angle of an imaginary line leading over the most cranial part of the shoulders from the neck to the arm. Each shoulder is then classified into one of four categories: 1. strongly sloped shoulder, 2. moderately sloped shoulder, 3. straight shoulder, 4. shoulder with slightly raised lateral part.
