Paired-samples test was applied in the intergroup comparison in each quadrant. Compressive modulus of each quadrant of LC was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group, with significant difference (). Compressive modulus of each quadrant of ppSCl was higher in the experimental group than that in the control group, with significant difference ().
