Table 3.

Changes of velocity, gait cycle time, and cadence in peat intervention and control groups.

Group Before intervention After intervention p value (intragroup analysis)
Mean ± SD p value (intergroup analysis) Mean ± SD p value (intergroup analysis)
Velocity (m/s) Peat group (n = 22) 0.781 ± 0.144 0.876 0.873 ± 0.106 0.006 0.002
Control group (n = 19) 0.772 ± 0.195 0.727 ± 0.191 0.180

Gait cycle time (second) Peat group (n = 22) 1.344 ± 0.240 0.977 1.297 ± 0.248 0.634 0.058
Control group (n = 19) 1.346 ± 0.168 1.330 ± 0.188 0.542

Cadence (steps/min) Peat group (n = 22) 91.774 ± 13.526 0.694 95.284 ± 14.652 0.368 0.035
Control group (n = 19) 90.327 ± 9.756 91.675 ± 10.610 0.440

SD: standard deviation. p < 0.05, significant difference at intergroup and intragroup comparison. Comparison between peat intervention and control groups, Mann–Whitney test. Comparison between before- and afterintervention in each group, Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
