Range of motion in the extension of rat knees
| Groups | Number of joints | Mean lack of knee extension ± SD (°) |
|---|---|---|
| Immobilized | 12 | 82.3 ± 6.5* |
| Contralateral | 12 | 20.7 ± 8.2 |
Range of motion measurement corresponds to the angle missing to reach complete extension (0°) at the knee; torque = 667 g/cm
SD standard deviation
*Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with the contralateral knee
