The slope value is the increase (positive value) or decrease (negative value) of the labeled time-point group and the preceding group. The control scores are the preceding group for the 3-week time-point group. The p-values indicate if the score change is significant. The patella does not possess a medial or lateral side, therefore only the ACLT and contralateral headers pertain to the patella values.
