EG: experimental group; CG: control group; value: between-group difference, Mann-Whitney -test; : significant between-group difference at ; MAS: modified Ashworth scale; MAS-s: MAS of the shoulder; MAS-e: MAS of the elbow; MAS-w: MAS of the wrist. Change values were calculated by subtracting the baseline (T0) data from the time points’ (T1, T2, and T3) data. Change values are expressed as . See text for more details.
