Results for intake and final assessment scores are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Results for change scores are reported as mean (95% confidence interval) with values normalized such that positive numbers indicate improvement on the scale used. Region-specific questionnaires used were Neck Disability Index (0-100%), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (0-100%), Oswestry Disability Index (0-100%), and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (0-80).
