Examples of different Shifts. The Shift classificatory parameter is the displacement of the barycentre of the Top View with respect to the spinal normal axis; it was defined as Shift because it is as if the pathological spine had changed its position with respect to the pelvis, "shifting" away from the vertical C7-S1 axis. A: Left Posterior Shift; B: Right Anterior Shift; C: Left Anterior Shift; D: Left Posterior Shift; E: no shift. For clinical and 3 DEMO complete data of these patients see Appendix [see Additional file 1].
