Mean ± SD | 7.1 ± 1.1 | 3.8 ± 1.3 | 14.3 ± 1.4 | 12.7 ± 1.6 | 39.3 ± 2.8 | 42.2 ± 2.8 | 43.1 ± 3.1 | 45.8 ± 3.7 |
Paired t-test showed that there were significant improvements between pre and post-test in measures of pain, the 50-ft walk time and hamstring strength (p≤0.0001)and quadriceps strength (p≤0.001).
