  1. Values are expressed as Mean (SD) of difference between two evaluation times. The minus sign next to the mean values means increase in muscle activation
  2. Abbreviation: BF, biceps femoris; MG, medial gastrocnemius; RF, rectus femoris; TA, tibialis anterior; RA, rectus femoris; ES, erector spine; A, Affected side; L, Less affected side; SD, Standard deviation
  3. *Significance p < 0.05, a: Repeated measure ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc (within group)
  4. **Significance p < 0.05, b: Mann-Whitney U-test (between groups)
