Fig 1 Hand function outcomes. Subjects in the MP+SS, MP, and SS groups each differed significantly from the subjects in the control group in JTHFT scores. Subjects in the MP+SS group also differed significantly from the MP and SS groups. Legend: open bar is mean pretest values ± SEM; closed bar is mean post-test values ± SEM. *P≤.01; †P≤.001.
