Treatment and study plan

isokinetic strengthening

Device

isokinetic upper extremity (forearm) strengthening for 4 weeks 3d/w

exercise band strengthening

Other

upper extremity (forearm) strengthening with exercise band 4 weeks 3d/w

Primary outcomes

  1. upper extremity strength

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks (change from baseline upper extremity strength at 4 weeks and at 8 weeks will be assessed)

    Muscles: forearm flexors and extensors Measurement tool: MicroFET3 (Hoggan Health Industries Inc. West Jordan, UT, USA)

  2. pik torque

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks (change from baseline pik torque at 4 weeks and at 8 weeks will be assessed)

    Muscles: wrist flexors and extensors Measurement Tool: CSMI Humac Norm Cybex isokinetic dinamometer (HUMAC® /2009 Version: 10.000.0065, Computer Sports Medicine Inc., USA)

Secondary outcomes

  1. hand grip strength

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks

    Measurement tool: Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer (Patterson Medical, Warrenville, IL, USA)

  2. Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale for upper extremity

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks

    Scale range: 0-66; higher values represent a better outcome; subscales are combined by summing to compute a total score

  3. Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (Part 1)

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks

    Scale range: 0-100; higher scores represent more disabilities of the upper limb; Total score (sum of the scores for 30 questions) is put in a formula to compute the DASH disability score

  4. Stroke Impact Scale version 3.0

    Time frame: 0, 4, 8 weeks

    Includes 8 domains and an extra assessment for stroke recovery; scores range 0-100 for each domain; higher scores represent better outcome; a formula is used for scoring each domain.
