  1. Data all represent number for each group. P-values are calculated by *chi-square test of independence for parametric data and $Fisher’s exact test for non-parametric data. P-value is calculated by Fisher’s exact test for non-parametric data between L4–5 and L5-S1. Significant differences are accepted for p-value < 0.05
