Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Relation between pre-treatment muscle weakness, spasticity, abnormal synergies, and changes in viscoelastic joint properties and treatment outcome quantified by change spasticity with a multivariable regression analysis, correcting for several patient characteristics. 2. Responsiveness to treatment, quantified as the standardized mean difference, of muscle weakness, spasticity, synergy, and viscoelasticity of the elbow measured with the SEP. | — |
