+ Could not perform and hence were given the maximum value of 120 s; * Could not perform finger-to-nose test because of shoulder pain; # JAMAR handgrip force assessment was not evaluated for Participant 1, ** Mean ± SD values are reported for all age-related norms; For the nine-hole peg test and Jebsen hand function test, a lower value indicates a better performance. Abbreviations: Base: Baseline; Pre: pre-training; Post: post-training; F-up: Follow up, %: percentage change from the average of baseline and pre-training blocks (week 0, week 3).
