Table 2.
Comparison of average SL width across the ab-/adduction and fist clench maneuver as well as the three measurement positions using linear mixed-effects models with post hoc Tukey tests. Only measurements from the first observer were considered. All models included the set of measurements (first or second) as fixed effect.
