From: Investigation of geometric deformations of the lumbar disc during axial body rotations
During a left axial rotation and b right axial rotation, tensile deformation at the 9 representative locations. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare the effect of segment (L3–4 and L4–5) and load (0 kg and 10 kg) on compression deformation at each point. The bars represent statistical significance upon within-level (0 kg and 10 kg) comparison of every points, whereas the symbols (*) represent statistical significance upon between level (L3–4 and L4–5) comparison of every points (P < 0.05). A—anterior, RA—right anterior, R—right, RP—right posterior, P—posterior, LP—left posterior, L—left, LA—left anterior and C—center
