Table 3 Descriptive characteristics of monitored variables for all participants divided into patients and controls

From: Eye-tracking control of an adjustable electric bed: construction and validation by immobile patients with multiple sclerosis

	Group	N	Percentiles
	Group	N	Median	25th	75th	Min	Max
Task time* (s)	Controls	26	40.2	34.5	45.5	25.7	66.7
Task time* (s)	Patients	16	56.5	46.5	64.9	38.2	134.3
Efficiency (%)	Controls	26	86.3	81.6	91.0	67.0	96.9
Efficiency (%)	Patients	16	72.1	63.0	75.2	57.3	84.0
EDSS (–)	Controls	0
EDSS (–)	Patients	17	9.0	8.5	9.0	7.0	9.5
Time to first positioning (s)	Controls	26	11.5	10.2	14.1	9.6	20.6
Time to first positioning (s)	Patients	16	13.9	12.4	16.5	10.9	23.3
Age (years)	Controls	26	46.5	30.3	55.0	19.0	72.0
Age (years)	Patients	17	63.0	57.0	67.0	42.0	73.0
ITR (bits/s)	Controls	26	1.5	1.3	1.8	0.8	2.5
ITR (bits/s)	Patients	17	1.0	0.9	1.2	0.4	1.6

The distribution of the observed parameters for age-matched control and patient groups is described by the median, lower and upper quartiles, and minimum and maximum. Task time* excluded the rising and falling passages in the bed setting, which were not constrained by the test and could be performed differently by each person
