Postural spinal balance defined by net intersegmental moments: Results of a biomechanical approach and experimental errors measurement

Table 1 Mean net sagittal articular moments and maximum net sagittal articular moments in N.m for each volunteer

		Cervical	Thoracic	Lumbar	Hip right	Hip left	Knee right	Knee left	Ankle right	Ankle left
Mean	Volunteer 1	-0.65	-9.23	-0.45	10.73	14.62	-6.7	-5.81	-13.04	-7.52
moments	Volunteer 2	-0.03	-4.2	-0.86	3.79	4.82	-7.59	-10.09	-7.76	-6.08
Max	Volunteer 1	0.71	10.76	7.71	11.35	15.2	7.6	7.59	14.06	8.59
moments	Volunteer 2	0.43	5.92	3.91	4.27	5.08	8.12	10.44	8.5	6.49

Signs of the moments were consistent between the two subjects. Maximum moments are expressed in absolute values.
