Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fugl-Meyer assessment scale for the upper limb. Timepoint: Before and immediately after treatment. Method of measurement: This scale has been validated in terms of psychometric properties and is a quantitative measure of motor disability in hemiplegia patients after stroke. It includes 6 areas of reflexes, voluntary movements, coordination, speed, sense and passive movements. In the movement part, the upper limbs, wrists and fingers and the speed and coordination of movements are evaluated. Items are scored using a three-point scale (0 = cannot do; 1 = partially does; 2 = completely does) and a total score of 66 is calculated. | — |

| Functional reach test. Timepoint: Before and immediately after treatment. Method of measurement: In this test, the participant stands next to the wall and raises the upper body up to the shoulder with a straight elbow. This point is considered as zero, then the person bends forward or sideways by keeping the support level fixed. This distance is measured to the zero point.;The score of the Persian version of the naming skill questionnaire. Timepoint: Before and immediately after treatment. Method of measurement: This test is performed in order to assess the vulnerability of verbal naming memory using semantic guidance and phonetic guidance of dyslexic patients. This test has 50 images in different categories, which are selected according to the type and diversity of the category in three groups of animals (12 items), natural categories (11 items) and man-made categories (27 items). To perform the test, each picture is shown to the patient one by one and in order, and he is asked to name them. The type of patient's answer is also noted in the answer letter. If the participant cannot answer after ten seconds, he will first receive semantic guidance, and if he is still unable to answer, phonetic guidance will be provided to the patient by repeating the beginning consonants of the target word. The participant's answers will also be recorded against the target word. In examining the validity of the test on 32 dyslexic patients aged 40 to 68, the internal consistency coefficient was 0.96 and the test-retest coefficient was 0.87.;Severity of aphasia. Timepoint: Before and immediately after treatment. Method of measurement: To check the severity of aphasia, the speech and language pathologist will use Dr. Nilipour's aphasia test, the validity and reliability of which has been obtained in Farsi. In this test to check the severity of aphasia, the version of the aphasia questionnaire includes five items that include conversation and impromptu speech (answering targeted questio | — |
