  1. Sensitivity of the parameters measured from 2D images subject to deviations in rotational components from the standard pose about each of the anatomical axes, as percentages of the values of the parameters measured in the standard pose. Positive and negative values indicated that the deviation caused an over-estimation and an under-estimation of the percentage values of the standard pose, respectively (X-axis: A/P; Y-axis: S/I; Z-axis: M/L). A dashed line indicates no significant trend. An upward (downward) arrow indicates a linearly increasing (decreasing) trend. An upward (downward) curved arrow indicates a quadratically increasing (decreasing) trend.
