- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary goal of the study is to find out how different types of training (with and without feedback) impact MC (Mental Chronometry) ability in subacute stroke patients. <br>MC ability will be determined by performing the BBT mentally and by motor execution before and after the 30 minutes training period and on the following day. MC will be calculated by a formula: motor execution minus mental execution divided by motor execution.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary goal is to find out if a single 30 minutes training already modulates motor functions of the upper extremity. To assess this, the BBT and 2 subtests of the Jepsen Taylor Hand Function Test will be applied.
