Italian term

freccia cervicale/lombare

Italian to English Other Medical (general)
Posteriormente si calcolano i valori delle "frecce delle curve" cervicale (C7) e lombare (L3) in rapporto alla verticale del filo a piombo tangente alla curva dorsale.
I valori normali di dette frecce oscillano dai 30 ai 50 mm.
Nella ipercifosi il valore della freccia cervicale e’ maggiore di 50 mm. L’aumento del solo valore della freccia lombare indica la presenza di una iperlordosi lombare.

Flèche cervicale/lombaire

Nei testi di posturologia che conosco viene sempre riportato in francese (uno dei rarissimi casi!), non so il termine in inglese "puro" esista a questo punto.

Il termine è eccentato in francese, ma l'accento viene perso spesso...

arrows? - sagittal plumbline evaluation

This association International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment" (SOSORT) appears to be dominated by non native English speakers, so I wouldn't trust the "arrows" bit too much. They do however claim "consensus" for their terminology.

Arrows (evaluation)
The difference of distance from the plumbline measured at C7, D12, L3 and S1 with respect to the apex of the thoracic kyphosis.

Sagittal Plumbline (evaluation)

Measure of the arrows for the sagittal plane: the difference of distance from the plumbline measured at C7, D12, L3 and S1 with respect to the apex of the thoracic kyphosis.

A line usually drawn from C7 from which a weight is suspended to determine verticality in the sagittal plane.

Having said that, I can't find anything written by NES that uses the term (even the examination seems relatively unknown.)
