Czech term or phrase: postavení spin sym
In a Czech medical report, patient having joint and back problems, the above phrase appears in this context:

"porucha hybného stereotypu chůze vlevo, postavení spin sym, palpační citlivost SIK vpravo,..."

Based on the grammar, I think the singular is "spina". Does it mean the spinous processes? I found it on Czech google, usually in conjunction with the pelvis (zadní, přední spiny) but could find no English equivalent.

Can anyone please help with the meaning of the above phrase in English, especially "spin(a)".

Thanks,

Stephen

symmetrical position of spines
Explanation:
It should be spines
This is what I googled:

To eliminate pelvic motion when checking
abduction and adduction, first abduct the normal leg
fully, then look it over the side of the examining table.
Check the symmetry of the anterior superior iliac spines
and iliac crests.

The symmetrical/asymmetrical position of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
