Shoulder subluxation: p value at week 0 = 0.70; week 1 = 0.97; week 2 = 0.88; week 6 = 0.74
Shoulder pain: p value at week 0 = 0.68; week 1 = 0.29; week 2 = 0.43; week 6 = 0.92
Tone: p value at week 0 = 0.18; week 1 = 0.33; week 2 = 0.20; week 6 = 0.09
Upper arm function: p value at week 0 = 0.11; week 1 = 0.59; week 2 = 0.56; week 6 = 0.34
Hand movements: Final numbers were too small to run statistical tests to calculate p value.
Advanced hand movements: Final numbers were too small to run statistical tests to calculate p value.
