Range of motion (ROM) of entire instrumented region in lateral bending (left) and flexion-extension (right). Control non-instrumented condition, and with dual rods of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Titanium, and Cobalt-Chrome alloy (CoCr) are shown. *** p < 0.000125, ** p < 0.00125, * p < 0.0125 (α = 0.05/4 = 0.0125).
