12. The purpose of a study by Tam et al. (A-15) was to investigate the wheelchair maneuvering in individuals with lower-level spinal cord injury (SCI) and healthy controls. Subjects used a modified wheelchair to incorporate a rigid seat surface to facilitate the specified exper imental measurements. Interface pressure measurement was recorded by using a high- resolution pressure-sensitive mat with a spatial resolution of 4 sensors per square centime ter taped on the rigid seat support. During static sitting conditions, average pressures were recorded under the ischial tuberosities. The data for measurements of the left ischial tuberosity (in mm Hg) for the SCI and control groups are shown below.

(a) Find the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation for the Controls.

(b) Find the mean, median variance, and standard deviation for the SCI group.

(e) Construct a box-and-whisker plot for the controls.

(d) Construct a box-and-whisker plot for the SCI group.

(e) Do you believe there is a difference in pressure readings for controls and SCI subjects in this study?
