dVPPPL (vertical distance VPP- hip, joint), dhVPPPL (horizontal distance VPP- hip, joint).
dVPPTL (vertical distance VPP- scapulothoracic joint) and dhVPPTL (horizontal distance VPP- scapulothoracic joint) are dimensionless (% l 0). Negative dhVPPPL, values indicate that the VPPPL, is located cranially to the hip joint.
Positive dhVPPTL, values indicate that the VPPTL, is located caudally to the scapulothoracic joint.
