Clinical Commentary: Therapist supervised clinic-based therapy versus instruction in a home program following distal radius fracture: A systematic review

Each study included similar dependent variables including range of motion, grip strength, and self-reported functional outcomes. [...]an effect size for each dependent variable was calculated using the means and standard deviations of the data collected at the conclusion of treatment. Effect size estimates the magnitude of changes in dependent variables and may be compared between groups. [...]as effect size increases, it is assumed to support a particular intervention.
