  2. * As hypothesized, expected correlations were above 0.35 for a priori hypotheses 1-3.
  3. As hypothesized, correlations between KOOS subscales and SF-36 subscales better representing Mental Health (bolded in table) were lower than between KOOS subscales and SF-36 subscales better representing Physical Health (a priori hypothesis 4).
