  1. *The quotient value between quiet stance and period 1 and between period 1 and period 4 are presented within the parenthesis. A quotient value above 1 signifies an increased synchronicity between the movements made at body sites compared.
  2. **Bonferroni corrected significant differences are marked with bold numbers and trends (p < 0.1) are marked with italics numbers.
