Randomization
Participants were randomized 1:1 by web-based block allocation (variable sizes of 4 and 6) generated in Stata software, version 15 (StataCorp LLC), by an independent statistician, and the randomization list was provided in a fixed sequential order. The allocation sequence could only be accessed by the principal investigator (C.R.), who was not involved in inclusion procedures. Rehabilitation therapists were responsible for the inclusion of participants and sent a sham number to the principal investigator via email to receive information on group allocation.
