An FE investigation simulating intra-operative corrective forces applied to correct scoliosis deformity

Table 3 Three separate force profiles simulated for each patient-specific FE model - based on the mean and standard deviation in vivo measurements of Fairhurst et al. (2011)[10]

Normalized vertebral level	Force profile A (Mean + SD, [[10]])	Force profile B (Mean, [[10]])	Force profile C (Mean – SD, [[10]])

−2	765	580	395
−1	895	675	455
0 (Apical Disc)	945	660	380
+1	750	550	355
+2	635	470	300
+3 (Inferior-most vertebra)	495	320	145
