Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Results shown that upper limb function (FMA-UE), biomarkers correlated to oxidative stress (HO-1 and 8-OHdG), and BDNF have significant improvement after mixed reality rehabilitation trainings. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Although the change of serum molecular in mixed reality rehabilitation group did not reached significance compared to the control group. It is also suggests that the motor recovery was associated with the increase of HO-1 and decrease of 8-OHdG. | — |
