Computation of spine intervertebral motions in scoliotic patients: a multibody approach.

The article evaluates the spine kinematics identification during gait in patients with scoliosis. Topics mentioned include the use of a multi-objective optimization process based on the available kinematic data to distribute the total bending angle of the spine among the lumbar vertebrae, comparison of the relative rotation between vertebrae to analyze the difference of kinematical reconstructions used in the study, and the way spine kinematics can predict the spine motion during gait.
