Figures 1A.1 and 1B.1 depict mean ensemble waveforms plotted over the
stance phase of walking, for mean vertical ground reaction force (vGRF),
normalized to body weight (BW) for the Uninjured Controls and Highest and Lowest
IL-6 (A) and MMP-3 (B) ACL Cohort Quartiles. Figures 1A.2–4 and 1B.2–4 depict corresponding pairwise comparison functions, and associated
95% confidence intervals (grey bands), indicating the mean differences between
the Uninjured Controls and Lowest (.3), Uninjured Controls and Highest (.4), and
Lowest and Highest (.2) IL-6 (A) and MMP-3 (B) Quartiles. Differences between
groups existed whenever the 95% confidence intervals did not overlap zero.
