Spinopelvic Balance & Compensations

Authors: Marcelo Italo Risso Neto • Paulo Tadeu Maia Cavali

Global Sagittal Balance (SVA)

Three-dimensional alignment minimizing postural energetic expenditure. The C7 plumb line (Sagittal Vertical Axis - SVA) should ideally sit within ±3 cm of the sacral promontory.

Formula / Reference:
Ideal SVA: < 40-50 mm in adults
Clinical Implication:
Positive imbalances (> 5 cm) increase muscular fatigue and directly correlate with worsening ODI and SRS-22 scores.
