Abstract
Assessment of the spinal disorders is a notoriously difficult problem, even in controlled environments where the patients are instructed to stand upright. The method presented here considers the analysis of the mathematical curvature of the scaled and interpolated spinal line, in both the sagittal and frontal planes. Although the number of assumptions for spine normality is kept to a (reasonable) minimum, we demonstrate good detection of sharp or otherwise unnatural local bending in adolescent spinal alignments.
