Increase in T12 compressive loading for every 1° increase in the T1-T12 Cobb angle. These values are the slopes of least-squares linear regressions fitted to the load versus Cobb angle data at T12 for each height/weight combination. Note that when the subject’s height was varied, subject weight was held constant at 71 kg (the 50^th percentile value for females) and when the subject’s weight was varied, subject height was held constant at 1.62 m (the 50^th percentile value for females).
