Valid N (listwise).
For the right MI: Chi-square = 46.819; p = 0.000 (Kruskal Wallis test with skeletal class as grouping variable); Mann-Whitney U = 585.00; p = 0.000 (for the post-hoc analysis).
For the left MI: Chi-square = 30.226; p = 0.000 (Kruskal Wallis test with skeletal class as grouping variable); Mann-Whitney = 1008.00; p = 0.000.
