Objectives : This study was designed to analyze the pattern of asymmetrical alignment.
Methods : This study was carried out with the data from comprehensive medical testing. 91 subjects aged 30-39 were evaluated by full spine AP X-ray. For pelvis, innominate measurement(IM), off centering measurement(OCM), ilium shadow measurement(ISM), major axis of obturator foramen(MaF), minor axis of obturator foramen(MiF) were analyzed. Spinal curvature and height of shoulder girdle were analyzed.
Results : 1. In pelvis, lt. posterior-inferior and lt. inflare combination pattern was 38 cases(42.8%). 2. In spinal curvature, "reverse S" curve was 45 cases(49.4%) and "reverse C" curve was 30 cases(33%). 3. In shoulder girdle, rt. superior pattern was 42 cases(46.1%) and lt. superior pattern was 39 cases(42.9%). 4. In whole body analysis, lt. posterior-inferior and lt. inflare pelvis, "reverse S" spinal curvature and lt. superior shoulder girdle combination patten was 11 cases(12.1%). This pattern is similar to Kendall’s right handedness pattern and Zink’s common compensatory pattern.
Conclusions : Results from this investigation showed asymmetrical alignment in 30-39 years-old adults. This results are expected to contribute to classifying the alignment pattern in clinic and systemic treatment.
