Sagittal balance in degenerative scoliosis
Seminars in Spine Surgery, 2017Abstract Degenerative scoliosis is an abnormal three-dimensional curvature of the spine that occurs in adult patients with insufficiency of the ligamentous, muscular, and osseous structures. Imbalance in the sagittal plane has been identified as an important feature predictive of symptoms and disability in degenerative scoliosis.

Change in Sagittal Balance With Placement of an Interspinous Spacer
Spine, 2011A prospective case series.To determine the effect of X-STOP implantation on sagittal spinal balance using 36-inch films.Interspinous process spacers have been shown as an effective treatment of neurogenic claudication. The devices block the last few degrees of extension at the stenotic level, thus preventing compression of the nerve roots.

Human Foot Placement and Balance in the Sagittal Plane
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2009Foot placement has long been recognized as the primary mechanism that humans use to restore balance. Many biomechanists have examined where humans place their feet during gait, perturbations, and athletic events. Roboticists have also used foot placement as a means of control but with limited success. Recently, Wight et al.
