Table 3 shows RRAs from L1 to S1, SBAs, Tz per segment from L1 to S1, and Tz of L1 to S1 comparisons of pre-treatment and re-exam 2 LL x-rays. RRA L5-S1 improved from −14.8° to −18.8° (normal is −33°), SBA improved from 29.4° to 37.0° (normal is 40.0°), Tz L4-L5 improved from 13.3 mm to 2.4 mm, WNL (normal is 0.0 mm), and Tz L1-S1 improved from 29.3 to 23.3 (normal is 0.0 mm).
