Note: Table entries are the mean ± SD. Site 1 is closest to the wrist and site 5 is closest to the antecubital crease. p‐Values are based on a general linear model (GLM) for repeated measures with site as the within repeated measure. Significance of pairwise comparisons between sites are adjusted according to a Bonferroni correction.

^a Indicates sites different from the others (p < 0.01). At all sites for each parameter, differences between male and female groups was significant (p < 0.01).
