Peak tibial angle § | 86.3 (0.4) | 89.0 (0.7) | -2.7 (-4.2, -1.2) | 0.001 |
Peak thigh angle § | 81.2 (0.5) | 77.4 (1.0) | 3.8 (1.7, 5.9) | 0.001 |
Peak knee varus-valgus* | -5.0 (0.8) | -11.6 (1.5) | 6.6 (3.4, 9.7) | < 0.001 |

Peak hip rotation† | 4.8 (1.8) | 10.6 (2.1) | -5.8 (-11.6, -0.02) | 0.049 |
Peak knee varus-valgus* | -5.0 (1.2) | -6.1 (1.8) | 1.1 (-5.5, 3.2) | 0.589 |
* Negative value = valgus, positive value = varus
† Negative value = external rotation, positive value = internal rotation
§ Angles reported relative to the horizontal, with lower values indicating the segment was more medially oriented at the knee
