Table 2. Force of hip extensor with and without the pelvic compression belt during performing PHE-KE and PHE-KF (n=15)
| Without PCBs | With PCBs | Within-posture difference (99% CI) | Between-posture difference (99% CI) | p-value |
PHE-KE | 6.83±3.17 | 8.27±3.60 | 1.44 (1.11, 1.76) | 3.34 (2.63, 4.19) | p<0.001 |
PHE-KF | 7.09±3.85 | 12.50±4.38 | 5.40 (5.00, 5.81) | | |
Values are means±SD.
