PEDro: Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale; 1: eligibility criteria were specified (this item is not used to calculate PEDro score); 2: subjects were randomly allocated to groups; 3: allocation was concealed; 4: groups were similar at baseline regarding the most important prognostic indicators; 5: there was blinding of all subjects; 6: there was blinding of all therapists who administered the therapy; 7: there was blinding of all assessors who measured at least one key outcome; 8: measures of at least one key outcome were obtained from more than 85% of the subjects initially allocated to groups; 9: intention to treat analysis; 10: the results of between-group statistical comparisons are reported for at least one key outcome; 11: the study provides both point measures and measures of variability for at least one key outcome. Total: sum of items 2 to 11.
