Rasterstereographical measurements (sagittal plane): (a) flèche cervicale or flèche lombaire: sagittal distance between the lowest point of the cervical or lumbar spine and the virtual vertical plumb line; (b) trunk inclination: angle between the connection line of the vertebral point (VP) and the midline of the right (DR) and left (DL) dimple points, representing the Spina iliaca (SI) of the upright standing patient toward the virtual vertical plumb line [1].
