Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hand functional recovery was measured using standard outcome measurement techniques such as grip strength(GS) using a dynamometer and action research arm test (ARAT) on the scale of 0 to 57. The performance of the brain activity was measured in terms of BCI classification accuracy and the event-related synchronization and de-synchronization in the brainwave. Timepoint: The time points of outcome measurement were at every alternate session for GS and ARAT and for brain-activity it was at each session. It is to be noted that 2-3 sessions were done per week. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcomes were the measurement of mood, fatigue and motivation of the participants on visual-analogue-scale (VAS) between 0 to 10.Timepoint: Time points were after every session. | — |
