- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 3 clinical assessments and the measurement of grip strength. Fugl-Meyer Assessment and grip strength and Action Research Arm Test and Box and Block Test.<br>All outcomes were measured at baseline and after 4 weeks of training.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Spatiotemporal parameters were collected using a 3-D motion analysis system and workstation software pre- and post-test (VICON MX system, Oxford Metrics, U.K.).
