Familial relationships of normal spine shape.

Statistics in medicine - 20 May 2008

Dryden Ian L, Oxborrow Neil, Dickson Robert

Abstract excerpt

Familial correlations in the spinal shape of children are explored using statistical shape analysis. Measurements of the spine on the surface of the back were taken using an optical device, and recorded for several hundred children from the Leeds area of the U.K. A portion of the spine from the distal thoracic to proximal lumbar spine was used for the analysis, and measures of the shape of the spine line were...
