- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>In this study we are interested in the changes in cortical activity (measured<br /><br>by electroencephalography, EEG), muscle activity (measured by electromyography,<br /><br>EMG), and biomechanical aspects (measured by movement analysis techniques)<br /><br>during arm training.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Next to the mentioned aspects on impairment level, we are interested in changes<br /><br>of functional abilities of the arm during arm training. This will be measured<br /><br>using the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FM), and the Motricity Index (MI).</p><br>
