Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fugl-Meyer test for the upper extremity. The test measures the selective motor function of the upper extremity after stroke. The Fugl-Meyer test is assessed before the intervention phase, after the intervention phase and at a follow-up three weeks after the end of the intervention phase. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The Box and Block Test to assess the gross motor function of the upper extremity, the Stroke Upper Limbs Capacity Scale to rate arm and hand function, the strength of the hand measured with the Biometrics Dynanometer, the threshold for touch using Frey filaments, and the two point discrimination measured with a disk for two point discrimination. All test are assessed before the intervention phase, after the intervention phase and at a follow-up three weeks after the end of the intervention phase. | — |
