Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Trunk impairment scale measures trunk activity and measured as a clinical test 2. Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after stroke (FMA) measures upper and lower limb activity and measured as a clinical test 3. 10 Meter Walk Test (10mWT) measures gait speed and measured as a clinical test 4. Timed up and go test measures balance and gait activity 5. Wolf Motor Function Test measures upper limb activity and measured as a clinical test 6. Stroke Specific Quality of lifeTimepoint: Baseline and after 6 weeks	—
