Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Strength
Time Frame: Change from baseline at post 12 sessions of intervention and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.
The microFET 2© dynamometer had been used in order to evaluate the strength in several muscle groups: Shoulder (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, internal and external rotation), elbow (flexion and extension, supination and pronation), wrist (flexion and extension).
Range of motion
Time Frame: Change from baseline at post 12 sessions of intervention and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.
The goniometer had been used in order to evaluate the range motion. Joints: Shoulder (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, internal and external rotation), elbow (flexion and extension, supination and pronation), wrist (flexion and extension, ulnar and radial deviation ).
Secondary Outcomes
- Box and Blocks test(The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.)
- Fulg Meyer Assessment (FMA)(The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.)
- Activities of daily living(The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.)
- Muscle tone(The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention.)
