Table 2 Good/excellent patient satisfaction in the two treatment groups after 12 weeks.

	Patient satisfaction
	Eccentric group (n = 32)	Night splint group (n = 31)
Overall	20 (63)	15 (48)
Good/excellent compliance	16 (70)	9 (50)
Moderate/poor compliance	4 (44)	1 (0)

Values are n (%). Besides the overall results (2nd row), good/excellent patient satisfaction was calculated for good/excellent compliance (3rd row) and moderate/poor compliance (4th row). Better patient compliance in the eccentric group tends to lead to a higher patient satisfaction than patients with a low reported compliance for the eccentric exercises in the eccentric group. However, the differences were not statistically significant.
