Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Clinicians’ impression of functional change over two weeks <br><br>A video recording of a participant performing a functional task* will be taken at baseline and again at two weeks. A Global Impression of Change (GIoC) scale will be used to rate the functional change of a participant. The GIoC scale is a 15-point scale with -7 representing ‘very much worse’, 0 representing ‘no difference’, and +7 representing ‘very much better’. A mean between-group difference of 2/15 points is considered clinically important.<br><br>*Details of functional tasks have been omitted to minimise contamination between groups.[Baseline and at 14 days (Two weeks)]
