- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hand fine dexterity. Timepoint: evaluated initially, with taping Immediately, 30 minute and 2 days later and 2 days after tape removal. Method of measurement: It is ability to use small muscle groups to manipulate objects by controlling of fine movement, especially in the arm. Fine motor skills obtained in this study based on the time of insertion and removal of the 9 peg in Pegboard using by nine hole peg test.;Spasticity. Timepoint: evaluated initially, with taping Immediately, 30 minute and 2 days later and 2 days after tape removal. Method of measurement: It is increasing the muscle tone and stretch reflex and recognized by increase resistance to passive stretch. The resistance to passive motion in extension and adduction movements of the thumb and wrist extension based on modified ashworth criteria is scoring from 0 to 4.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hand and upper extremity gross dexterity. Timepoint: evaluated initially, with taping Immediately, 30 minute and 2 days later and 2 days after tape removal. Method of measurement: Hand and upper extremity gross dexterity is the ability of person to do gross movements with low velocity and fine movements with high velocity that needs to more range of motions and coactivity that assessed by box and block.
