WP2 Activity Completion of van Tulder Scoring Meeting re Data Extraction
Data Extraction Form • Ref Works ID • Form number • Treatment Regime • Duration = of course of tx—number FT and unit drop down • Session duration • Session frequency • Joint (listed)—yes /no • Technology --select from drop down list • TX Comparisons • AT/AT, • Routine TX/AT, • NoTx/AT, • Sham/AT, other • Time from end of Tx to last assessment • Time after Stroke • Under 1 month • 1-6 months ( inclusive of month 6) • Over 6 months • Other • Odds ratio data • Effect size data • Study design
Effect Size 'Effect size' is simply a way of quantifying the size of the difference between two groups. Odds Ratio Compares the proportion of those who benefitted from treatment with the proportion of those in the control group who improved
