MAP 130K1, Figure 3) whereas the hand function was measured with the nine hold peg test (9HPT) (Figure 4). Three measurements were taken, choosing the highest value in the case of the grip force and the lowest one for hand function. Measurements were taken at baseline, immediately after, 24 hours and four days after the intervention.
