Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SafetyBefore and after 2 weeks of intervention / Soon after every intervention

All types of adverse events that occurred during clinical trials

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes of geriatric depression scale (GDS-d)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Geriatric depression scale for depression in scale

Changes of Evoked-potentials (EP)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Evoked potential is an electrical potential recorded from the nervous system of a human or animal following presentation of a stimulus. In this study, motor- and sensory- evoked potentials are included.

Changes of Fugl-Meyer assessmentBefore and after 2 weeks of intervention

Fugl-Meyer assessment for motor function in score

Changes of manual muscle test (MMT)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Manual muscle test for strength in score

Changes of box and block test (BBT)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Box and block test for gross manual dexterity in number of blocks from on compartment of a box to another of equal size within 60 seconds

Changes of action research arm test (ARAT)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Action research arm test for functional ability of upper extremity in score

Changes of Korean mini-mental state examination (K-MMSE)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Korean mini mental state exam for cognitive function in score

Changes of Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Korean version of modified barthel index for functional status in score

Changes of electroencephalograpy (EEG)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Electroenchphalography is a test that measures EEG power in alpha band

Changes of motion analysisBefore and after 2 weeks of intervention

Motion analysis with motion capture setup and data processing or streaming of patients movements. In this study, data of motion capture include kinetic and kinematic data including physiological parameter.

Changes of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)Before and after 2 weeks of intervention

Funtional near-infrared spectroscopy meausures cortical activity in concentration of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin

Changes of blood biomarkerBefore and after 2 weeks of intervention

Blood biomarker include expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and interleukin (IL)-1b
