Note. Patients in INV group received exercise interaction; those in AC group received an attention-control intervention. Means and SDs are calculated using only cases having data on given subscale for all three time points.
The Friedman test compared scores at the three times within each group.
Change scores were calculated for pairwise combinations of times and compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U tests. All available cases were used in calculations of difference scores.
