Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of motor and process skills (AMPS) | Change in scores from baseline to scores following three weeks intervention | Observed limitations in activities of daily living, with scores for the motor- and proces- domains of activitites of daily living abilities. Each item in the domains is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, with higher scores representing a better outcome. |

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Activities of Daily Living - Interview | Change in scores from baseline to scores following three weeks intervention | Patient reported outcome measure |
| Functional Independence Measure (FIM) | Change in scores from baseline to scores following three weeks intervention | FIM measures activities of daily living observed by the interdisciplinary team in routinely daily practice. The scale has 18 items which are scored on a 7 point Likert Scale. The total score thus range from 18 to 126, with higher scores represent a better outcome. |
| Goal Attainment Scaling | Following three weeks intervention | Scoring system based on rehabilitation goal setting. Each rehabilitation goal is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from -2 to +2 with higher score representing a better outcome. Examples are: -2 denoting much less than expected and +2 denoting much more than expected. |
