Statistical evaluation of anthropometrical height and mass normalized torque variance values during quiet stance, comparing subjects treated in childhood for meningitis with healthy controls.
Figure 1.
Anthropometrical height and mass normalized values for (A) total, (B) low frequency and (C) high frequency torque variance with Eyes Closed and Eyes Open (mean and SEM) for healthy controls (n = 25) and for meningitis treated subjects (n = 36).
The figures present the statistical findings made in the post hoc evaluation of the main factor meningitis. #denotes p<0.1 (trends), *denotes p<0.05, **denotes p<0.01 and ***denotes p<0.001.
