Dynamic global sagittal alignment evaluated by three-dimensional gait analysis in patients with degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis

Purpose Sagittal vertical axis (SVA) is the most commonly used parameter for evaluating global sagittal alignment (GSA) in a static condition. However, its dynamic statuses remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate dynamic GSA of degenerative lumbar kyphoscoliosis (DLKS) using three-dimensional motion analysis system (3D-MAS).
