Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Robotic metrics. What and how: index finger proprioception, range of motion, force, tracing smoothness - metrics extracted from the robotic device ETH MIKE (as described here: https://jneuroengrehab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12984-021-00904-5) When: at inclusion and after 3 weeks of intervention (at discharge) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical outcomes: Box & Block test, Nottingham Sensory Assessment (proprioception of index finger only), Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Neglect Assessment (Bell Test); Test of Attentional Performance (TAP). Collected at inclusion and at discharge (after 3 weeks of intervention). Usability outcomes: NASA TLX, Likert scale (questionnaires). Study drop-out rate, report of adverse events. | — |
