Abstract
The malalignment of the trunk causes abnormal stress in a specific area and lead to trunk instability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the angle between the infrasternal angle and the trunk side shift distance. The participants in this study 22 subjects were participated. The infrasternal angle and trunk side shift distance were measured using a camera and analyzed using the Image J program. The correlation between the asymmetry of the infrasternal angle and trunk side shift distance was moderate (r=-0.413; p=0.028). According to the asymmetry of the infrasternal angle, it was confirmed that trunk lateral shift appeared in a specific direction. Based on result, it suggests that infrasternal angle and trunk side shift should be considered in the intervention plan of patients with asymmetry of the infrasternal angle.
