Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Computer game-based upper extremity function assessment tool (CG-UE) Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) Timepoint: Patients will be assessed at baseline(pre intervention), then at 4- weeks, 8- weeks, post intervention at the end of 12- weeks and a repeat follow up assessment will be performed at 16- weeks on the outcome measures.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Stroke Impact scale Train Making Test A and B Qualitative OutcomeTimepoint: Patients will be assessed at baseline(pre intervention), then at 4- weeks, 8- weeks, post intervention at the end of 12- weeks and a repeat follow up assessment will be performed at 16- weeks on the outcome measures. Upon completion of the therapy program the patients will be invited to take part in an interview where a set of open-ended questions will be asked and the responses will be recorded and qualitatively analysed.
