Abstract_ Background A sagittal plane spine reposition sense device SRSD has been developed. Two questions were addressed with this study concerning the new SRSD 1 whether spine movement was occurring with the methodology and 2 where movement was taking place. Methods Sixty-five subjects performed seven trials of repositioning to a two-thirds full flexion position in sitting with X and Y displacement measurements taken at the T4 and L3 levels. The thoracolumbar angle between the T4 and the L3 level was computed and compared between the positions tested. A two vertebral level of thoracic and lumbar by seven trials mixed model repeated measures ANOVA indicated whether significant differences were present between the thoracic T4 and lumbar L3 angular measurements. Results Calculated thoracolumbar angles between T4 and L3 were .
