Study & Design

Study Type: interventional

Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fugl Meyer Assessment. Timepoint: Before Intervention, 2 Weeks and 4 Weeks. Method of measurement: 226 points multi-item questionnaire used for the evaluation of recovery from stroke.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
•Brunnstrom Recovery Stages. Timepoint: Baseline, 2 Weeks and after 4 Weeks. Method of measurement: Brunnstrom recovery stages or BRS is 6-stage evaluation tool indicating the recovery after stroke.;Modified Ashworth Scale. Timepoint: Baseline, 2 Weeks and after 4 Weeks. Method of measurement: It is 6 points scale ranging from 0-4 and lower reading indicates the normal tone of muscle and higher score means more resistance to passive movement or spasticity.
