    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Cent sujets ont fait l'objet d'une étude radiographique du rachis lombaire en station debout et en suspension avec étude de la morphologie rachidienne et externe. Le but de ce travail est savoir s'il existe des corrélations entre les modifications de forme et de dimension du rachis lombaire en suspension et la morphologie, avec pour objectif une approche fonctionnelle de l'anthropométrie. Il ressort de cette étude que 70% des sujets allongent leur rachis, 22% le raccourcissent et 8% présentent pour modification essentielle, un redressement de courbure. En fait, le phénomène d'extension du rachis lombaire en suspension est sous la dépendance de l'activité musculaire tonique et les rapports entre les modifications observées et la morphologie apparaissent difficiles à établir. Cependant, les profils anthropométriques et rachidiens permettent de dégager des influences morphologiques. D'autre part, notre étude confirme les résultats des travaux menés sur l'élongation du rachis lombaire en traction horizontale ou en suspension et permet de tirer des déductions pratiques.
    Notes: Summary Roentgenological investigation of the lumbar spine was done in the standing and suspended position in 100 healthy adult male volunteers. Spinal and external morphology were studied. The aim of this work was to identify eventual correlations between the modifications of shape and size of the suspended lumbar spine and external morphology. Such correlations were sought to establish a functional approach to anthropometry. The results of this study demonstrated that the suspended position led to lengthening of the spine in 70% of the subjects examined, shortening of the spine in 22% and mainly straightening of the spine in 8%. Extension of the lumbar spine resulting from the suspended position is dependent upon tonic muscle activity and the relations between the observed spinal modifications and external morphology are difficult to establish. Nevertheless, anthropometric profiles and spinal features allow identification of certain influential external morphological parameters. Furthermore, the results of this study confirm those of others devoted to elongation of the lumbar spine under horizontal traction or suspension and lead to practical conclusions.
