Table 5.
Comparison of thigh circumference among participants concerning dominant versus non-dominant leg, indicated in centimeters. p-values generated from a two-tailed t-test. cm: centimetres; SD: standard deviation; IMD: intermalleolar distance; ICD: intercondylar distance. In total, eight subjects did either not indicate which leg was the dominant one or indicated that they were two-footed, which led to exclusion for this analysis.
