Primary outcomes

upper extremity function

Time frame: 4th week

Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) The FMA-UE is a condition-specific outcome that applies to hemiparesis of the upper limb in stroke conditions. The FMA motor assessments for the upper (maximum score 66 points)
Trail Making Test

Time frame: 4th week

The Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. It has two parts, in which the subject is instructed to connect a set of 25 dots as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy. Scoring is based on time taken to complete the test (e.g. 35 seconds yielding a score of 35) with lower scores being better. Different norms are available that allow comparison with age-matched groups
