Optoelectronic assessment of standing posture can be a useful, noninvasive technique in the evaluation of scoliosis. This paper describes a simple, graphical technique to illustrate the changes in coronal and transverse plane alignment of the trunk with respect to the pelvis following surgical instrumentation of scoliosis
