  1. HSP-Cobb: Cobb angle in the habitual standing position; RPP-Cobb: Cobb angle in the relaxed prone position; PEP-Cobb: Cobb angle in the prone extension position; Group A (PEP-Cobb < RPP-Cobb): patients in whom the PEP-Cobb is smaller than or equal to the RPP-Cobb; Group B (PEP-Cobb > RPP-Cobb): patients in whom the PEP-Cobb is greater than the RPP-Cobb
