Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in sensorimotor impairment of the affected upper extremity between baseline and the end of the intervention phase (approximately 3–4 weeks). Assessment is performed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the upper extremity (FMA-UE). The change in the FMA-UE score is calculated as the difference between the baseline value (baseline measurement prior to the start of the intervention) and the value after completion of the intervention. | — |
