  1. † Generalized estimation equation analysis was used for between-time, between-group and group-time interaction
  2. The data was presented as mean (SD)
  3. Abbreviation: MAS, Modified Ashworth Scale; MTS, Modified Tardieu Scale; PROM, passive range of motion; R1, angle of catch seen at quick speed; R2, Full range of motion at slow release of muscle
