Bold type highlights effects that are significant at p < .05
aRanges of motion are as follows; Thorax–Pelvis range is the range of Thorax movement relative to the participants’ range of pelvic movement, Thorax-Lab range is the range of Thorax movement relative to the lab and Pelvis-Lab range of motion is the range of pelvic movement relative to the lab
