SD = standard deviation. SRM = standardized response mean. ES = effect size. PSSD = pressure specified sensory device. DASH = disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand.
CI = confidence interval. The overall effect size of all patients was calculated to indicate the overall response to orthotic intervention; SRM and ES were calculated separately for responders and non-responders to indicate responsiveness.
