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 |
SD1/SD2 (ms) | 0.35 ± 0.11 | 0.46 ± 0.18 | 0.36 ± 0.10 | 0.45 ± 0.16 |
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.
