    Mean (standard deviation) of multiaxis profile (MAP) grip strength. Bar graph pairs compare distributions of grip strength as assessed in the N=nondominant and D=dominant extremity for uninjured controls (n=13), patients with unilateral injury to dominant extremity (n=11), and patients with bilateral injury (n=15). The participants with nondominant extremity injury (n=2) are not included in these plots.
