Data from Total Knee Replacement (TKR) patients was collected from 3 different clinics. The data that is given to you includes: Subject number, age, clinic and range of motion (ROM) measurements at 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 6 months post-op.

Question 1
a) You know that Clinic 1 uses a slightly different protocol than Clinic 2. To see if there is a significant difference in data between clinic 1 & 2 calculate a t-Test with ROM at 3 weeks at Clinic 1 & Clinic 2.
b) Is there a significant difference? How do you know? Explain using values. What does that tell you?
c) Calculate the median, mean and standard deviation (s) of 3 weeks ROM measurements from Clinic 1 and Clinic 2. (Show your work)
d) Using an Excel Spreadsheet set up a table to show this information.

Question 2
a) Compare ROM at 3 weeks between clinic 1, clinic 2 and clinic 3. Perform a one-way ANOVA.
You may copy and paste data onto another worksheet and rearrange columns to mimic the example from class
b) Do your results show a significant difference or not? Explain how you know by using values to explain. Explain what this means.

Questions 3
a) Now perform a one-way ANOVA to look at 3 week ROM compared to 6 week ROM and 6 month ROM from the total clinics.
b) Is there a significant difference? Explain what this means.
c) What is the mean ROM for 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 6 months?
d) Your p value (alpha) is set at .05 Why is that desirable? What does it mean
