Fig. 5

Relatively more vertebral wedging in the thoracic curve and more IVD wedging in the lumbar curve. a In the thoracic curve (T1-T6), a pattern of wedging was observed in the vertebral wedging for all visits but not in IVD wedging. The average sum of vertebral wedging was 14.1° while that of IVD wedging was 6.0°. b In the lumbar curve (T12-L4), a pattern of wedging was observed in IVD wedging for all visits but not in vertebral wedging. The average sum of vertebral wedging was 9.2° while that of IVD wedging was 16.4°
