Paired-samples test was applied in the intergroup comparison in each quadrant; ANOVA method and post hoc test (LSD, Tukey HSD) were applied in the intragroup comparison in each group. The elastic modulus of each quadrant was higher in the experimental group than that in the control group, with significant difference (). The elastic modulus was different between each quadrant in the control group (). ^#The elastic modulus had no difference between each quadrant in the experimental group ().
