  • SFMA squat: sfma_squat_trunk_peak_angle

Description

Max trunk angle captures how far forward (or from vertical) the trunk leans at its maximum during the squat. It is used in bodyweight and SFMA squat assessments to describe posture and compensation.

  • Posture and forward lean assessment
  • SFMA movement quality
  • Comparison with normative or task-specific targets
