Table 2 The model input data is shown and used to predict the actual patient post treatment data. Shown are the means, standard deviations (Std.), interquartile ranges (Q1-Q3), minimum values (Min), and maximum values (Max). Fit type :1) normal fit is lordosis is within 20% of the value of the SBA; 2) low fit type is a greater than 20% difference between the SBA and lordosis with SBA < 15°; 2) high fit type is a greater than 20% difference between the SBA and lordosis with SBA > 15°.
