  1. Data are expressed as median (IQR) except for Hip Ext Rot Torque, which is expressed as mean ± SD. Values in italics indicate significant differences at the 0.05 significance level in the exploratory analyses (Wilcoxon Rank Sum test [median {IQR} results] or two-sample t test [mean ± SD] results). KOOS scored from 0 to 100, 100 = best status. NPRS scored from 0 to 10, 10 = worst pain
