Table 5. Mean and standard deviation from nonlinear indices in both groups.

Index TD DMD
Rest seated Cognitive task Rest seated Cognitive task
SD1 (ms) 37.88 ± 20.85 36.98 ± 23.01 26.33 ± 14.84 22.11 ± 14.41
SD2 (ms) 105.21 ± 43.69 80.73 ± 45.27 71.99 ± 32.86 46.46 ± 20.24

TD: Typical Development; DMD: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy; SD1: standard deviation of instantaneous beat-to-beat variability; SD2: standard deviation of long-term continuous RR intervals; ms: milliseconds.

There was significant difference between cognitive task vs rest seated in both groups for all frequency domain indexes. For SD1/SD2 there was no significant difference between groups.
