Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Tests of sensorimotor performance (touch thresholds, tactile discrimination thresholds, grip strenght, manual dexterity) prior to and after the combined intervention consisting of 10x rES and arm-ability-training (AAT) for all subjects of the target group.
