    It was intended that this study elucidated an association between unequal difference and thorax transformation of the weight contact bearing surface and developed the evaluation and treatment, prevention program. I measured a measurement with a posture change as a standing position, face up position (just after a standing position ten minutes later) in Measurement of the depth/width ratio of the chest (common name :Pin-man-graph) where Goldsmith and others devised the thorax of the normal adult. It was significantly different with the mean by the measurement result by the posture change. It was elucidated by a posture that I had effect by the self-respect stress on becoming it thorax flatness. By this result, this measurement method is useful means to show the posture transformation of the seriously ill mind and body child, person with a disability and thorax transformation objectively.
