Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	upper extremity strength	Muscles: forearm flexors and extensors Measurement tool: MicroFET3 (Hoggan Health Industries Inc. West Jordan, UT, USA)	0, 4, 8 weeks (change from baseline upper extremity strength at 4 weeks and at 8 weeks will be assessed)
Primary	pik torque	Muscles: wrist flexors and extensors Measurement Tool: CSMI Humac Norm Cybex isokinetic dinamometer (HUMAC® /2009 Version: 10.000.0065, Computer Sports Medicine Inc., USA)	0, 4, 8 weeks (change from baseline pik torque at 4 weeks and at 8 weeks will be assessed)
Secondary	hand grip strength	Measurement tool: Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer (Patterson Medical, Warrenville, IL, USA)	0, 4, 8 weeks
Secondary	Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale for upper extremity	Scale range: 0-66; higher values represent a better outcome; subscales are combined by summing to compute a total score	0, 4, 8 weeks
Secondary	Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (Part 1)	Scale range: 0-100; higher scores represent more disabilities of the upper limb; Total score (sum of the scores for 30 questions) is put in a formula to compute the DASH disability score	0, 4, 8 weeks
Secondary	Stroke Impact Scale version 3.0	Includes 8 domains and an extra assessment for stroke recovery; scores range 0-100 for each domain; higher scores represent better outcome; a formula is used for scoring each domain.	0, 4, 8 weeks
