aNormally distributed data is represented as mean ± SEM and data not following the normal distribution is represented as median (interquartile range)
bMissing data of 5 participants in the assistive group, 6 in the therapeutic group and 7 in the control group because they were not able to perform the writing task
*significant difference from pre-evaluation.
