Table 2.
Comparison of FMA-UE scores before and after treatment among the three groups.
| Group | T0 (FMA)* | T1 (FMA)* | ΔFMA* | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | 14 (16) | 15 (18) | 2 (2) | <0.001 c |
| Group B | 9 (12) | 15 (10) | 4 (2) | <0.001 c |
| Group C | 11 (8) | 15 (10) | 4 (3) | <0.001 c |
| H | 1.412 | 0.037 | 20.030 | |
| P | 0.494d | 0.982d | <0.001 d |
Group A, conventional treatment group; group B, soft robotic glove group; group C, repetitive transcranial magnetic group; *M (IQR), median (interquartile range); T0 (FMA), pre-treatment assessment; T1 (FMA), post-treatment assessment; ΔFMA, difference of the FMA-UE score before and after treatment; Pc, statistic from a non-parametric test of relevant samples; Pd, statistic from a non-parametric Kruskal–Wallish test.
