Fig. 5From: Three-dimensional alignment changes of the shoulder girdle between the supine and standing positionsThree-dimensional CT scans in the supine and standing positions. a Anterior view. Compared with the supine position, elevation of the clavicle (black dotted lines) decreases in the standing position due to the effect of gravity. b Posterior view. Compared with the supine position, upward rotation of the scapula (surrounded by white dotted lines) decreases in the standing position due to the effect of gravity. c Lateral view. Compared with the supine position, the scapula (surrounded by white dotted lines) is located inferiorly and tilts posteriorly in the standing position. d Superior view. Compared with the supine position, the clavicle (black dotted lines) shows greater retraction, and the scapula (surrounded by white dotted lines) is located medially and rotates externally in the standing positionBack to article page
