- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main study parameters are the action research arm test (ARA), the<br /><br>fugl-meyer motor assessment (FM), the motricity index (MI) and the active range<br /><br>of motion (AROM) of the wrist. Also the RMS of the EMG of the musculus flexor<br /><br>carpi radialis (FCR) and musculus extensor carpi radialis (ECR) during<br /><br>isometric contraction is calculated.</p><br>
