Table 6.
Mean values of joint alignment, i.e., joint deviation (in the coronal plane), joint extension (in the sagittal plane), and joint rotation (in the axial plane) as a function of loading. Mean ± standard deviation (°). Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA and statistically significant results are indicated in bold type.
