The test results <strong>of</strong> this hypothesis shows that the percentage <strong>of</strong> women on the other positive<br />
tests for pelvic instability the score is 38% However this represents only 3 women. Because<br />
<strong>of</strong> this low population, this result is strongly sensitive for coincendences. It would therefore<br />
be interesting to investigate if the same test with a larger population shows similar results.<br />
If we look at the group <strong>of</strong> women with a negative score on the <strong>ASLR</strong> test in combination with<br />
a positive score on one or more <strong>of</strong> the other instability tests, <strong>and</strong> compare these with the<br />
group <strong>of</strong> women with a positive score on the <strong>ASLR</strong> test <strong>and</strong> the other tests (for pelvic<br />
instability), it shows that these differences are not significant. However, because this groups<br />
<strong>of</strong> women are relative small (14 women, compared to 1), you can not really speak <strong>of</strong> groups<br />
<strong>of</strong> women. Significance can only be defined in groups.. Although no statistically significant<br />
difference could be shown here, it does not mean that there was no difference at all.<br />
The comparison between the group <strong>of</strong> women with negative scores on the <strong>ASLR</strong> test <strong>and</strong><br />
negative scores on the other tests for pelvic instability, <strong>and</strong> the group <strong>of</strong> women who scored<br />
positive on the <strong>ASLR</strong> test in combination with a negative score on the other test for pelvic<br />
instability shows a significance score <strong>of</strong> 75% (p
