θME and σME are the mean and standard deviation of a one-dimensional ME distribution calculated from the 〈P2〉 and 〈P4〉 values for each probe. Data are means (± SE) in degrees for; 10 fibers, BR-smRLC-D; 4–5 fibers, BR-skRLC-D; 7 fibers, BR-smRLC-E; and 4 fibers, BR-skRLC-E. Statistical significance of differences between values for skRLC and smRLC was assessed using the t-test: P < 0.05; P > 0.05.
