Compensation for standing posture by whole-body sagittal alignment in relation to health-related quality of life

Abstract

This study provides evidence that the three grades of sagittal compensation in whole body alignment correlate with HRQOL scores. The compensation grades depend on the clinical diagnosis, whole body sagittal alignment, and lumbar spinal stenosis. The threshold values of key alignment parameters may be an indication for treatment. Cite this article: <i>Bone Joint J</i> 2020;102-B(10):1359-1367.
