Table 2. Changes in ABC test results across therapy sessions.

Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. P-values were calculated with the one-way ANOVA test. The significant results are highlighted with bold characters. p1 represents the analysis of differences between the three measurements using the repeated measures test. p2 represents differences between the pre-test and values after five sessions. p3 represents differences between the pre-test and values after 10 sessions. p4 represents differences between values after five sessions and after 10 sessions.
