While the Lenke classification enhances our structural understanding of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the biomechanical implications for spinal range of motion (ROM) and intervertebral disc (IVD) loadings remain unclear. This study aims to quantitatively explore and compare these biomechanical responses in normal thoracolumbar spines and those with various curvatures of Lenke types under pure bending conditions.
