- Brief Summary
There were no significant differences in general characteristics and baseline of study subjects between the experimental and the control group. The experimental group and the control group showed significant improvement in FMA and AOU of MAL, Use of unaffected side, and Use of affected side, excluding QOM of MAL. As a result of comparison between groups through ANCOVA, the experimental group showed statistically significant improvement only in the AOU of MAL (p<.05, d=.93) and the Use of unaffected side (p<.05, d=1.07) than the control group. On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the QOM of MAL and Use of affected side of FMA. However, In effect size Cohen's d, all evaluations including FMA(d=.58), QOM of MAL(d=.28) and use of affected side(d=55) showed a difference in effect size more than small effect.
