The BRPI, BRSI and B-PRSI could be measured reliably on US images when the Cobb angle at prone position was not close to zero. Using these three indices, information may provide more comprehensive information about the SF. Validity of spinal flexibility measurements still needed to be confirmed with a clinical study with more subjects. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
