The Pearson's coefficient is r, the freedom degree is df, p is the confidence level of test. When the Pearson's coefficient r is greater than the value reported to the column p, there is a correlation with a confidence level of p = 0.05 or p = 0.01. The correlation between the SEP and H-reflex is verified both for p = 0.05 and p = 0.01 for all the cases studied.
