Table 3

Mobility of the lumbar spine in 3 planes in two groups.

	Scoliosis group	Nonscoliosis group	P value	t/Z value
Left side-bending (cm)	17.73 ± 3.91	17.47 ± 3.67	0.744	−0.328
Right side-bending (cm)	19.41 ± 3.85	18.55 ± 3.56	0.273	−1.013
Difference between side-bending (cm)	3 (1, 5)	1 (1, 2)	0.001	−3.329
Left rotation (°)	57.20 ± 16.43	55.00 ± 18.54	0.558	−0.589
Right rotation (°)	61.95 ± 14.31	57.22 ± 17.82	0.175	−1.368
Difference between rotation (°)	5 (0, 10)	5 (0, 5)	0.103	−1.629
Flexion (cm)	5 (0, 15)	0 (−12.5, 6)	0.001	−3.462
Extension (cm)	18.22 ± 3.34	16.39 ± 3.76	0.017	−2.423
