Notes: Rotation data are measured in degrees. Translation data are measured in units of vertebral body depth. The radiographic image of one L2-3 segment and 2 L5-S1 segments were of insufficient quality for analysis. Reference interval is defined by 2 standard deviations either side of the mean. | ||||
