Abstract：Objective To survey the physiologic flexure degree actuality of Cervical vertebra of China flight cadet recruites and provide basic data for revising the medical standard of pilot selection. Methods The cevrical curvature of X ray films were seasured and analysed in 212 flight cadet candidates. Results The result showed that the maximum value of C line was 21 mm and the minimum value was-10 mm and the value less than 7 mm was 76.89%(163/212) in all flight cadet candidates. The maximum value of C line was 21 mm and the minimum value was-9 mm and the value less than 7 mm was 78.57%(99/126) in flight cadet recruites. Conclusions There is a high percent of abnormal cervical curvature in China flight cadet recruites at present. We suggest that the index of cervical curvature evaluation may be brought into the medical examination standard of selection aviation cadets, because the abnormal cervical curvature is one of the frequent and early X-ray signs of cervical spondylosis.
