Popis: Background Using the Formetric® system, we have observed a high incidence of abnormal sagittal configurations in scoliotic as well as in non scoliotic patients. Those abnormal configurations could be described by using terms like Hyperor Hypobut not all of them. Changes in the location of the thoracic apex, lordotic apex, transitional point as well as segmental rectifications of the profile were observed with the formetric. This data is used to define a specific scale to measure harmony of the spine.
