Table 2.

Measures of rigidity including rigidity torque scores and moment-angle plot slopes. Rigidity torque scores are presented for the overall movement (TOTAL) as well as flexion and extension components of the overall movement. Moment-angle plot slopes are presented for the flexion and extension components of the passive movement. Presented as mean (SD)
