Changes in pain and fatigue; comparing pre-exercise and post-exercise self-reports in patients who were able to self-report using a scale of 0–10 (zero = none; 10 = worst/greatest possible).

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3
n = 19 N = 20 N = 14
Pre-exercise fatigue 5.8 4.91 5.6
Post-exercise fatigue 5.4 4.6 5.7
Pre-exercise pain 3.3 2.4 2.9
Post exercise pain 2.8 2.0 2.9

No significant differences between pre- and post-scores in either pain or fatigue on days 1–3 in those who were able to report.
