Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).

Results are given as mean (SD).

The P value indicates the significance of the difference between patients with OI type I and controls.

*

*Two participants in the OI group were unable to generate enough force to perform the test.

Two participants in the OI group had invalid results.
