What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scale
Time Frame: 1 year
Functional Independence Measure scale assesses the patients ability to carry out activities of daily living. At the follow up of 1 year, every patient in this study will be reevaluated on this scale.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)
Time Frame: 1 year
Manual muscle testing is a procedure for the evaluation of the function and strength of individual muscles and muscle groups based on the effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity and manual resistance. On the follow up after 1 year, every patient will be reassessed on MMT to record changes in their muscle strength after stem cell therapy.
