Table 2. Group differences in MVICs and tVAF1 between DMD and TD from the MWU-test (α = 0.01) and their r effect sizes.
DMD | TD | MWU-test | Effect size | |
---|---|---|---|---|
KE MVIC [Nm·kg-1] | 0.60 (0.49–0.85) | 1.27 (1.03–1.69) | p<0.001 | 0.76 |
KF MVIC[Nm·kg-1] | 0.41 (0.32–0.55) | 0.88 (0.74–1.13) | p<0.001 | 0.79 |
DF MVIC [Nm·kg-1] | 0.10 (0.08–0.12) | 0.27 (0.23–0.33) | p<0.001 | 0.85 |
PF MVIC[Nm·kg-1] | 0.27 (0.19–0.41) | 0.53 (0.43–0.79) | p<0.001 | 0.65 |
tVAF1 | 0.63 (0.59–0.67) | 0.65 (0.64–0.69) | p = 0.16 | 0.21 |
Abbreviations in alphabetic order: DF = dorsiflexion; DMD = Duchenne muscular dystrophy; KE = knee extension; KF = knee flexion; MVIC = maximal voluntary isometric contraction; MWU = Mann-Whitney U; Nm·kg-1 = Newton meters per kilogram body weight; PF = plantar flexion; TD = typically developing; tVAF1 = total variance accounted for by one synergy.
