  1. Presented as numbers, degrees with (SD) and 95%CI.
  2. Left and right leg was pooled making a total of 140 cases and 200 controls. Variation in N reflects incomplete numbers of examinations among the participants.
  3. †Joint movement below 0 indicates hyperextension of the joint.
  4. Bold numbers indicate statistical significance.
