Values presented as mean ± SD. The comparisons between IG and CG, both PRE and POST, did not show any statistical difference. Statistical significance is fixed at P < .025 (Bonferroni correction). The anthropometric and motion-level parameters’ comparison between IG and CG in baseline condition and after 3 months showed no significant difference.
