Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Forward reach distance unsing one-arm functional reach test Measurements will be performed in two trials, and the average value will be used for analysis. Outcome was forward reach distance measured by the functional reach test with non paretic arm.,Forward reach distance unsing two-arm functional reach test Measurements will be performed in two trials, and the average value will be used for analysis. Outcome was forward reach distance measured by the functional reach test with two arm.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Anteroposterior COP displacement during one-arm functional reach test Measurements will be performed in two trials, and the average value will be used for analysis of validity. Anteroposterior center of pressure (COP) displacement was measured during the Functional Reach Test using the non-paretic arm, with a Zebris FDM-S force platform.,Anteroposterior COP displacement during two-arm functional reach test Measurements will be performed in two trials, and the average value will be used for analysis of validity. Anteroposterior center of pressure (COP) displacement was measured during the Functional Reach Test using the two-arm, with a Zebris FDM-S force platform.	—
