  1. Significance level, \(\alpha\), was set at 0.05. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation
  2. PT Spinopelvic tilt or pelvic tilt, SS Sacral slope, PI Pelvic incidence, LL Lumbar lordosis, TK Thoracic kyphosis, SVA Sagittal vertical axis, PFA Proximal femoral angle, KF Knee flexion angle, AF Ankle dorsiflexion angle
  3. *p values from paired t test
  4. **p values from Wilcoxon signed rank test
