结局指标
主要结局
Fugl-Meyer Assessment of upper limb (FMA)
时间窗: 12 Months
This measures upper limb impairment and scores from 0 to 66, the higher the score, the less the impairment. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation, and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.
Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)
时间窗: 12 months
This measures arm and hand function and ranges from 0 to 57, the higher the score, the better the upper limb function. The ARAT is a 19-item measure divided into 4 sub-tests (grasp, grip, pinch, and gross arm movement). Performance on each item is rated on a 4-point
