Pelvic girdle pain and relevance of ASLR testing: A ... - Cindy Verheul

The group statistics and the independent samples test results
When tested for significant differences betweem women who score positive on the other
instability tests, and women who score negative score on the other instability tests (ASLR
excluded) there appears to be no significant difference in the DPQ total score or scores on
the physical and emotional sections. See the group statistics in table 24 and the
independent sample test in table 25 in the appendix.
