| Durationa | Total distance traveledb | Velocityc | Displacementd | |
| s | μm | nm/s | μm | |
| adf1+ (n = 36) | 14 ± 8 | 1.1 ± 0.9 | 79 ± 21 | 0.33 ± 0.12 |
| adf1-M2 (n = 37) | 26 ± 18*** | 2.0 ± 1.5** | 81 ± 22 | 0.43 ± 0.23* |
| adf1-M3 (n = 43) | 23 ± 17** | 1.8 ± 1.2** | 83 ± 27 | 0.48 ± 0.24*** |
The measurements are mean values ±1 standard deviation. Two-tailed t tests were used to calculate the statistical significance between wild-type and cofilin mutant cells: ***, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05.
a
Duration is defined as the time that a node moved continuously between pauses.
b
Total distance traveled is the cumulative distance that nodes traveled between pauses.
c
Velocity is the total distance that a node traveled between pauses divided by duration of that movement.
d
Displacement is the straight line distance between the point where a node started to move and the end point where it stopped.
