experimental group
control group
Patients in the experimental and control group were instructed by clinical staff to perform home-based exercises and followed up through phone calls. The experimental group performed exercises using an elastic resistance band with 10 repetitions/set × 5 sets/day × 3 days/week.
The control group underwent active joint range-of-motion exercises and isometric contraction exercises.
