Non-invasive Imaging Technique for the Study of Lordosis in Pregnant Women and Its Relationship to Birth Outcome

It consists of taking the widest measurement between the rope of a plumb bob on her upper and lower back.

First, three anatomical landmarks are located, and a sticker is placed on each of them: the 12th thoracic vertebra at its intersection with the midline descending from the axilla, the greater trochanter, and the anterior superior iliac spine. After this, the woman will be asked to stand in a normal position facing forward with her hands crossed over her shoulders, and a picture will be taken and pixelated with anything that could identify her. The angle formed by the three stickers will be measured with this image and the software.
