Thoracic spine landmarks include the sternoclavicular joint (T1), superior angle (T2), and inferior angle (T7) of the scapula, sternal angle (T4), and xiphoid process (T9). Much of the pain felt in the thoracic area, however, has been shown to originate in the cervical spine. Pain ...
Background Accurate measurements of spinal movement require reliable determination of anatomical landmarks. Current methods of identifying these are not sufficiently reliable or valid for this purpose. A reliable and convenient method of placing markers on selected vertebra is ne...
The muscles associated with thethoracic spineare arranged in layers. The first layer contains the muscles closest to the surface of the skin, which run from the back of the vertebrae to the shoulder blades (i.e., the trapezius) at the upper thoracic back. The muscles that wrap around the ...
BACKGROUND: Numbering of the thoracic spine on MRI can be tedious if C2 and L5–S1 are not included and may lead to errors in lesion level. PURPOSE: To determine whether anatomic landmarks or external markers are reliable as an aid for accurate numbering of thoracic vertebrae on MRI. MATER...
measured and studied for their anatomy landmarks according to the approach.The data,including incision,exposed range,sympathetic nerve,arch of azygos vein and thoracic duct was measured and analyzed.Results:By this approach,the length of skin incision was about(22.88±1.70)cm.We could get a ...
Background Aging is associated with changes in the musculoskeletal system, including increased susceptibility to spine malalignments. Utilizing corrective exercises with a therapeutic emphasis can be beneficial in the elderly with thoracic spine hyperkyphosis. Objective This study aimed to investigate the ef...
and thoracic outlet syndrome are clinical diagnoses because what is common to all is adecreasein blood flow. They arenotpathological ( fascial plane alteration ) diseases. The pathological cause is based upon the decrease in blood flow. The radiologistmustknowlandmark anatomyto make an accurate dia...

Nevertheless, palpation in order to identify the correct location of anatomical landmarks is an essential prerequisite to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of postural analysis [36], and the spine is one of the regions of the body that provides the greatest difficulty for the examiner, ...
