*P value set at p < 0.05 and based on Independent Student t test. P < 0.05 = statistically significant
**P value set at p < 0.05 and based on paired Student t test. P < 0.05 = statistically significant
Group 1 = BluSkyPlan software; Group 2 = Dolphin software; N = number; SD = Standard Deviation;
Mean Diff. = difference between means; SE diff. = standard error of the difference
