What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity	Measurement of motor function of upper and lower extremities. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 66, and higher scores mean a better outcome.	Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Grip and Tip pinch strength test	The test is to measure the maximum isometric strength of hand, forearm, and finger muscles.	Baseline
Box & Block Test	The test is used to measure the gross manual dexterity of a patient, or of a person using an upper limb prosthetic device.	Baseline
9-hole pegboard test	The test is a standardized, quantitative assessment used to measure finger dexterity of a patient.	Baseline
Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function test	This test is a standardized and objective measure of fine and gross motor hand function using simulated activities of daily living (ADL).	Baseline
