(Abstract: This project determined the spinal rotation during gait walking and compared an experimental group of subjects trained in the Core Integration Method to a control group. The angle of the spine was measured using a potentiometer, which calculated the movement of the back at the T12 vertebra in the transverse plane. The average angles of the experimental group were 37.1% higher than those of the control group. Other parameters such as angular velocity, angular acceleration, stride rate and stride length were also compared.)
