摘要
The diminished standing height in scoliotic patients is mainly due to an increase in the lateral curvatures of the spine. A method is described by which this reduction in trunk height can be measured. A formula for the calculation of the height loss due to the scoliosis in relation to the angulation of the primary curve is given. © 1968 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
