denotes a significant difference within groups; the value denotes within group significance level. MAL: motor activity log, AMT: amount completed; how much they used their upper limb; a higher score indicates greater use, HW: how well; how well they perceived they used their upper limb; a higher score indicates greater use, and box and block: how many blocks moved in 60 seconds with affected arm. FSS: fatigue severity scale; a positive score indicates increased fatigue.
