Non-progressed curves. a X-ray at the first clinical visit. T4/T11 = 25.2°. T11/L4 = 45.7°. b X-ray of the latest clinical visit. T4/T11 = 26°. T11/L4 = 35°. c Vertebral wedging of the curve T11/L4. The wedging at the apex (L2) increased by 0.5° at the 3rd clinical visit. d IVD wedging of the curve T11/L4. The wedging at the apex (L1/L2) was maintained at around 10°. e Summation of the wedging value of the lumbar curve. The sum of vertebral wedging decreased from 13.9° to 12.9° and that of IVD wedging decreased from 35.8° to 28.8°
