Comparisons of Preintervention and Postintervention Values for Hand Grip Endurance and Hand Grip Strength in Both Groups

	Endurance (s) Mean (SD)		P Value	Strength (kg) Mean (SD)		P Value
Pre	Post	Pre	Post
Massage (n = 22)	38.4 (12)	46.5 (13)	.001a	43 (5.6)	45.7 (5.3)	.077c
Passive movement (n = 22)	33 (12.3)	31.9 (10.7)	.513a	42.8 (6)	45.9 (5.6)	.854a
P value	P = .088d	P < .0005d		P = .903b	P = .067d

The values are the mean (SD) for hand grip endurance and hand grip strength.
