Shoulder subluxation: p value at week 0 = 0.61; week 1 = 0.97; week 2 = 0.43; week 6 = 0.16.
Shoulder pain: p value at week 0 = 0.12; week 1 = 0.64; week 2 = 0.92; week 6 = 0.63.
Tone: p value at week 0 = 0.61; week 1 = 0.96; week 2 = 0.92; week 6 = 0.11.
Upper arm function: (p value at week 0 = 0.78; week 1 = 0.11; week 2 = 0.11; week 6 = 0.16.
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.
