We have been using the hanging appearance for the screeing and the medical examination of the scoliosis. This paper reports the stripes and patterns of the Hanging Moiré topography for normal dorsal forms of 70 cases and scoliotic dorsal forms of 51 cases (Cobb angle more than 15 degrees).The results are summerized as follows:1) The Hanging Moiré patterns were classified into three types which were the infrascapular type (Pattern I), the scapular type (Pattern II) and the bilateral type (Pattern III) by the line of the lower borders of the scapula and furthermore two subtypes which had one apex (Pattern B) or two ones (Pattern A) under infrascapular line. We concluded that Pattern A was not found in these scoliotic patients and Pattern B suggested the possibility of the rigid scoliosis.2) The Hanging Moiré topography was useful for the check of the spinal flexibility. It was thought that an appropriate cutting point was 7.5mm.
