Study design  Prospective study.    Objective  To identify the radiographic differences between the standard upright position and the natural and comfortable upright position.    Methods  The radiographic data of 50 young and healthy adults were evaluated, and parameters including the global cervical angle (GCA), global thoracic angle (GTA), global lumbar angle (GLA) were used to depict the spine profile; the distance from the cranial center to the posterior corner of S1 (CSVA-S), the center of the hip (CSVA-H), the center of the knee (CSVA-K) and the center of the ankle (CSVA-A) were measured in both the standard and the natural and comfortable upright positions to assess whole-body balance.    Results  Significant differences were observed in the GCA (17.39 ± 6.90 vs. 10.90 ± 3.77,  p  < .001), GTA (25.63 ± 7.27 vs. 45.42 ± 8.15  p  < .001), GLA (42.64 ± 8.05 vs. 20.21 ± 7.47  p  < .001), CSVA-S (0.33 ± 2.76 cm vs. 8.54 ± 3.78 cm,  p  < 0.001), CSVA-H (1.53 ± 3.11 cm vs. 5.71 ± 3.26 cm,  p  < 0.001), CSVA-K (3.58 ± 2.47 cm vs. 5.22 ± 2.69 cm,  p  = 0.002) and CSVA-A (1.79 ± 1.92 cm vs. 4.79 ± 2.51 cm,  p  < 0.001) between the two different standing postures. Compared with the standard upright position, the natural and comfortable upright position results in a more kyphotic spine profile.    Conclusion  Significant differences in sagittal radiographic parameters were found between the standard upright position and the natural and comfortable upright position; the latter served as a marker for energy conservation during standing and revealed a more kyphotic spinal profile. The standard upright position and natural and comfortable upright position are equally important and should be addressed before a surgical plan is developed for patients who need surgery.
