Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the most affected side by the disease, after the intervention, verified by following tests, dynamometer for handgrip strength, isokinetic dynamometer for quadriceps strength, Nine-Hole Peg, Box and Block, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the asymmetry of the unilateral group when compared to the bilateral group, using the following equation: Asymmetry equation = (((MA – lA)/(MA + lA)))×100 MA = most affected side lA = less affected side From the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
