Supine to standing Cobb angle change in idiopathic scoliosis: the effect of endplate pre-selection
Conclusions:
Pre-selecting vertebral endplates causes minor changes to the mean supine to standing Cobb change. There is a statistically significant relationship between supine to standing Cobb change and fulcrum flexibility such that this difference can be considered a potential alternative measure of spinal flexibility.
