Objective: To analyze the correlation ratios between the spinal posture (thoracic, lordotic, and pelvic inclination) and the craniofacial morphology.
Rasterstereography was used for a precise reconstruction of the back sagittal profile. From the profile parameters, the upper thoracic inclination, the thoracic angle, the lordatic angle, and the pelvic inclination were determined.
