Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The chair massage group

chair massage 15 min,, 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

chair massage

Intervention Type OTHER

Chair massage was performed useing only traditional methods of Swedish massage were used, consisting of stroking (smooth, continuous movements to relax and calm the sympathetic nervous system), kneading (consisting of wringing, squeezing muscles, compressing pressure points for the relaxation of soft tissues, i.e. muscles, tendons, fascia), stretching combined with swaying and passive movements of the upper limbs (to mobilize the joints of the upper limbs) and final stroking combined with slapping and shaking percussion, vibration.

The exercise program group

excercises 15 min., 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

the exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

The original set of exercises was developed based on the knowledge and clinical experience of the authors of the study and based on EBP (Evidence Based Practice). The program consisted of 14 strengthening and stretching exercises involving the muscles of the trunk and limbs whose main goal was to mobilize the joints and strengthen the weakened muscles and relax overloaded muscle groups.

The control group

control 2 measurements, 4 weeks apart

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
