Abstract
The thoracic discs and the SAC from T4-T5 to T11-T12 showed kinematic changes from flexion to extension. The thoracic spinal canal tended to be narrowest in flexion and widest in the extension. Thus, kyphotic deformities could be one of the etiologies for neurogenic deterioration in patients with thoracic myelopathy.
