Table 2 Results of Pearson correlation test for tibial torsion.

Measure comparisons	R value	P value
TMA vs TT	0.264	0.099
TMA vs SSP-TR	−0.348^*	0.003
TMA vs DSP-TR	−0.357^*	0.002
TMA vs SP-TR	−0.460^*	0.000
TT vs SSP-TR	−0.667^*	0.000
TT vs DSP-TR	−0.612^*	0.000
TT vs SP-TR	−0.641^*	0.000
^* Denotes significance. TMA – transmalleolar axis; TT – tibial torsion; SSP-TR – single-support phase of tibial rotation; DSP-TR – double-support phase of tibial rotation; SP-TR – swing phase of tibial rotation.
