Thoracic spine centers of rotation in the sagittal plane
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine in vitro the centers of rotation of thoracic functional spinal units in the sagittal plane. The center of rotation is a convenient concept and part of a precise method of documenting the kinematics of a joint moving in a plane. Fresh cadaver functional spinal units from the thoracic region were utilized. Six load types were used that produced motions only in the sagittal plane, namely anterior and …
