Research Article: Factors related to T1 slope: spinopelvic balance and thoracic compensation
Abstract:
To identify factors associated with T1 slope (T1S).
Introduction:
Over the last 20 years, sagittal spine alignment had been studied extensively from the thoracolumbar to the cervical spine [1]. T1 slope (T1S) had received substantial attention because it is the junction of the cervical and thoracolumbar spine. In 2010, [2]Knott et al. proposed that the T1 slope helped evaluate sagittal balance. Subsequently, the T1S was studied in terms of cervical sagittal alignment. Pelvic parameters affect the entire underlying sagittal spinal profile; [3]Lee et al. introduced the notion that…
