The methods of the study were written in a way that is repeatable and had very little researcher bias because it was a randomized clinical trial. The results provided all the data that was introduced in the hypothesis and presented them in that same order. The discussion was concise and the authors provided information about the flaws in the research. It was found that there was no statistical difference between the aggressive and non-aggressive rehabilitation groups.
