Reconstructing the lordotic curvature of the lumbar spine in humans is essential for understanding their posture and locomotion. To date there is still no reliable method for predicting the lordotic curvature of disarticulated spines (in the absence of intervertebral disks). This article examines two possible methods for predicting the lordotic curvature of the lumbar spine. The first--the traditional method--is based on the degree of wedging of the vertebral bodies, and the second--the suggested new method--is based on a lateral view of the orientation of the inferior articular processes. We propose a linear regression model for predicting the lordotic curvature of the lumbar spine (lordosis angle) in disarticulated human spines. This model, derived directly from our new method, is a more reliable predictor of the lumbar lordosis angle in disarticulated spines.
重建人类腰椎前凸曲度对于理解其姿势和运动至关重要。迄今为止,仍然没有可靠的方法来预测脱节脊柱(无椎间盘)的前凸曲度。本文研究了两种预测腰椎前凸曲度的可能方法。第一种——传统方法——基于椎体楔形变的程度,第二种——建议的新方法——基于下关节突方向的侧位视图。我们提出了一个线性回归模型来预测脱节人类脊柱的腰椎前凸曲度(前凸角)。该模型直接源自我们的新方法,是脱节脊柱腰椎前凸角更可靠的预测指标。
