Abbreviations:
- ANOVA
- Analysis of variance
- CI
- Confidence interval
- ECRB
- extensor carpi radialis brevis
- ICC
- Intraclass correlation coefficient

ICC A was calculated by means of a two-factor model with mixed effects.
ICC B was performed by means of one-factor model with random effects.
MDC was determined for each CI: (95% CI); (90% CI); (80% CI).
