Mean values and between-leg differences using the Indurometer and BIS.

	Indurometer (n = 98)			BIS (n = 90)
	Anterior Thigh	Posterior Thigh	Calf	Whole Leg
Dominant leg mean (SD)	4.74 (0.72)	4.10 (0.90)	2.81 (0.63)	2.50 (0.46)
Non−dominant leg mean (SD)	5.05 (0.79)	3.87 (0.89)	2.60 (0.59)	2.74 (0.59)
Mean difference (SD)	−0.31 (0.31)	0.23 (0.23)	0.21 (0.21)	−0.24 (0.32)
95% CI of the difference	−0.41, −0.21	0.11, 0.35	0.13, 0.28	−0.31, −0.17
% difference	6.5% **	5.6% **	7.5% **	9.6% **,#
Direction (dominant leg)	Harder	Softer	Softer	More fluid

SD = standard deviation; ** Significant between-leg difference p ≤ 0.01; ^# Clinically relevant between-leg difference (tonometry > 10%, BIS > 3%).
