Standard reference values of the upper body posture in healthy young female adults in Germany: an observational study by Daniela Ohlendorf, Charlotte Doerry, Vanessa Fisch, Sebastian Schamberger, Gerhard Oremek, Hanns Ackermann, Johannes Schulze

“…Group differences were tested by the Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney U test.Results In normal posture, the spinal column was marginally twisted to the left, and the vertebrae were marginally rotated to the right. The kyphosis angle is larger than the lumbar angle. Consequently, a more kyphotic posture is observed in the sagittal plane. …”
