TABLE I.
Joint Angle Excursions as a Function of Reach Direction and Foot Placement. The Angles Listed Are the Variables That Showed Consistent Dependence on Foot Placement Across the Group of Subjects. Results Were Averaged Over Five Subjects and Three Repetitions. Standard Errors Are Also Displayed. Inequality Signs Represent Group-Averaged Statistical Differences Between Foot Placements for p < 0.05. The Number of Subjects That Showed Individual Significance Appears Within Parentheses. (Abbreviations: S—Side-by-Side; W—Wide; And T—Modified Tandem)
