Figure 4 Measurement of the sagittal cervical spine parameters, C2–C7 Cobb: The angle between the parallel lines of the C2 and the inferior endplates of the C7; C2–C7 SVA: The horizontal distance between the center of gravity of the C2 vertebra and the posterior edge of the upper endplate of the C7 vertebra. C7 slope: Angle between the C7 upper endplate and the horizontal line; T1 slope: Angle between the T1 upper endplate and the horizontal line.
