Sagittal alignment in Japanese elderly people - how much can we tolerate as normal sagittal vertical axis?

چکیده
Objectives Spinal sagittal alignment has been reported that it is highly associated with health related QOL in adult spinal deformity patients. Optimal sagittal alignment is critical for the efficient function of the musculoskeletal system. In Japan as aging country, a number of elderly people with spinal deformity seems to be increasing. In general, sagittal alignment of elderly people is more forward than younger people. But there is no data to show the average sagittal alignment in elderly people. It is still unknown how much we can tolerate as normal sagittal vertical axis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sagittal alignment and health related QOL in elderly volunteers.

Methods One-hundred thirty six volunteers (male:34, female:102, mean BMI=21.1) who have no history of spinal diseases were enrolled. The average age was 39.5 years (20 ~ 69). Spino-pelvic alignments (T1/T12 kyphosis, Lumbar Lordosis [LL], Sacral Slope [SS], Pelvic tilt [PT], Pelvic Incidence [PI], T9-hip axis sagittal angle [T9ang], and sagittal vertical axis [SVA]) were measured using the EOS ...
