Table 2. Between group comparisons for the baseline (reliability) measures, and the first baseline measure compared to the post-mobilization with movement, and post-manipulation conditions for both the injured and uninjured legs.

Comparison Mean Difference (95% confidence interval) t df P-value
Injured Baseline 2 – Injured Baseline 1 0.18° (-0.34° to 0.71°) 0.70 41 0.49
Uninjured Baseline 2 – Uninjured Baseline 1 -0.09° (-0.52° to 0.35°) -0.40 33 0.69
Injured Post-MWM – Injured Baseline 1 1.92° (1.30° to 2.53°) 6.28 41 <0.01
Uninjured Post-MWM – Uninjured Baseline 1 1.36° (0.72° to 2.01°) 4.30 33 <0.01
Injured Post-Manipulation – Injured Baseline 1 6.89° (6.09° to 7.69°) 17.42 40 <0.01
Uninjured Post-Manipulation – Uninjured Baseline 1 4.74° (3.71° to 5.78°) 9.34 32 <0.01
Injured Post-Manipulation – Injured Post-MWM 5.10° (4.50° to 5.69°) 17.29 40 <0.01
Uninjured Post-Manipulation – Uninjured Post-MWM 3.49° (2.60° to 4.38°) 8.01 32 <0.01

Note that the MDC for this measurement is 3.5° therefore the only measurements to be considered clinically significant are: the injured leg from baseline to post-Manipulation and from post-MWM to post manipulation, while for the uninjured leg only baseline to post-manipulation reached this hurdle (“MWM”: mobilization with movement).
