Natural Head Position in Standing Subjects
Open accessAbstract
The natural head position in standing subjects was studied on cephalometric profile radiographs of 120 Danish male students aged 22-30 years. Two head positions were recorded, one determined by the subjects own feeling of a natural head balance (the self balance position) and the other by the subject looking straight into a mirror (the mirror position). The reproducibility of the two head positions was assessed. The reference points were recorded by the D-Mac Pencilfollower on punched cards, and a computerized technique was developed for transfer of reference points between the two series of films. It was found that in the mirror position the head was kept higher than in the self balance position. The variability in inclination of the craniofacial and cervical reference lines to the true vertical and to each other in the two head positions was reported. Analysis of the pattern of associations within the craniocervical complex was suggested to clarify the relationship between head balance and facial morphology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
