Sagittal spine alignments in flexed, standing and extended positions as acquired using the Spinal-Mouse® System.
a) Type 1: Normal Posture; Type 2: Round Back; Type 3: Hollow Round Back; Type 4: Whole Kyphosis; Type 5: Modified Round Back. b) Representation of the different postural types in spine form.

Summary of data for all curves types and conditions.
Figure 2.
Angle data at different spine sections during standing, flexion and extension conditions. Standing: stand angle in standing; ROE: range of extension; ROF: range of flexion; ROFE: range of flexion-extension.
a, b, c, d Indicate significant differences (P<0.05) between: aType 1 (n = 50), bType 2 (n = 173), cType 3 (n = 75), and dType 4 (n = 20). Modified type 5 (n = 132).
