| Trend Symmetry | 1.34 (1.08) | 2.51 (1.63) * | |
| Cyclogram area (°2) | Knee | 228.50 (178.97) | 312.71 (221.37) |
| Cyclogram orientation ϕ (°) | 1.09 (0.81) | 2.02 (1.98) * | |
| Trend Symmetry | 0.39 (0.30) | 0.70 (0.62) | |
| Cyclogram area (°2) | Hip | 97.22 (87.41) | 124.43 (72.95) |
| Cyclogram orientation ϕ (°) | 1.74 (1.22) | 1.94 (20.6) | |
