Mean SD Min Max 95%CI

Lower Upper
CHR (beats/min) 83.3 17.1 22.0 200.0
Non-paretic WHR (beats/min) 84.3 15.8 38.0 158.0
Paretic WHR (beats/min) 83.7 16.2 44.0 157.0
Difference between non-paretic WHR and CHR (beats/min) 1.0 11.6 −103.0 79.0 0.7 1.3
Difference between paretic WHR and CHR (beats/min) 0.4 10.8 −98.0 76.0 0.1 0.7
Mean non-paretic WHR and CHR (beats/min) 83.8 15.4 41.0 148.5
Mean paretic WHR and CHR (beats/min) 83.5 15.7 41.5 152.0

Mean MAPE (SD) on non-paretic and paretic sides were 6.7 (6.7) % and 5.9 (4.1) %, respectively. Cohen’s d between WHR and CHR were 0.09 for both non-paretic and paretic sides. Cohen’s d between non-paretic and paretic sides was 0.06.

CHR: chest heart rate; CI: confidence interval; MAPE: mean absolute percentage error; SD: standard deviation; WHR: wrist heart rate.
