Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Muscle tone. Timepoint: The beginning of the study, before and after each intervention, one month after the end of the interventions. Method of measurement: Data collection is done through the Modified Ashworths Scale to evaluate the muscle tone that points to 0 to 4 for the patient's examination.;Power of muscle. Timepoint: The beginning of the study, before and after each intervention, one month after the end of the interventions. Method of measurement: Using the MRC Score based on the range of patient's movement, the score is 0-5.;Activity of daily living. Timepoint: The beginning of the study, before and after each intervention, one month after the end of the interventions. Method of measurement: The score for Barthel's score is 0-100 based on the patient's daily activity.
