Effects of mirror placement on sagittal alignment of the spine during acquisition of full-spine standing X-Rays

ConclusionThe smaller McGS variation in the TOEI 2014 study suggested that mirror placement could standardize the head ’s position. These results showed that the mirror placement retroflexed cervical alignment and caused the head to lean backward. It is important that a mirror is placed to unify the line of sight.
