  1. The r-value indicates the correlation coefficient between MT and EI measured in the supine and sitting postures and CSA, MV, and intraMAT. The bold on r-values shows the statistical significance of the correlation coefficients. A p-value < 0.05 on Meng’s test indicates a significant difference between correlation coefficients amongst two measurement postures
