JTHFT, GPT, and pinch strength scores refer to performance with the dominant hand. Higher scores on the DASH, JTHFT, and GPT indicate poorer performance. Higher scores on the PGR and Lee Symptom Scale indicate greater symptom severity. On all other measures, higher scores indicate improved performance
a
Number of patients with data on each measure at both baseline and 6 months. Data for these individuals were used to calculate median scores at each time point. DASH, HAP, MAM-36, and SF-36 scores were missing from one patient due to young age (< 18 years old). For the 2MWT and grip strength, missing data were not collected
