subacute stroke spasticity

Interventions

During the so-called 'therapy-as-usual' (TAU), comprising of a well-described arm-hand excercise / rehabilitation program (called CARAS), spasticity in the arm muscles on the affected side will be r

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age >

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - severe non-stroke related co-morbidity that may interfere with arm-hand function; - additional orthopaedic, neurological or rheumatologic impairments of the arms and/or hands and or trunk that may interfere with the execution of the measurements; - no informed consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
- Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), gauging functional capacity.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FM), gauging arm-hand function level; - JAMAR strength test, gauging muscle strength; - Motricity Index (MI): Functional strength measurement during performance of daily tasks; - Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS): gauging spasticity levels in the upper extremity; - ABILHAND, gauging perceived level of arm-hand skill/activity proficiency; - Bilateral arm activity monitoring: As to actual arm-hand skill performance, bilateral activity monitors (3D accelerometry, AX3, Axivity Ltd) will be worn around both wrists.	—
