Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The overall performance score of the tests is based on the Wolf test. According to Wolf's ability to perform an arm, the scores are between zero and five, with a score of 0 means the absence of the affected limb and a score of five, meaning a move close to the normal. Finally, the median time and total scores will be recorded as a total score. Timepoint: Before the intervention, 10 and 30 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Wolf's Questionnaire.;The time of the tests will be recorded based on the Wolf test according to the Wolf Mean Time Scale and the total performance scores as the total score. Timepoint: Before the intervention, 10 and 30 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Wolf's Questionnaire.	—
