From: Three-dimensional easy morphological (3-DEMO) classification of scoliosis, part I
Examples of patients with different Directions. The Direction classificatory parameter is the angle between the AP spinal axis and the AP normal spinal axis (abscissa); it was defined as Direction because it is as if the pathological spine had changed its normal postero-anterior direction with respect to the pelvis, rotating clockwise or anticlockwise. A: right Direction; B: left Direction; C: parallel Direction. For clinical and 3 DEMO complete data of these patients see Appendix [see Additional file 1].
