Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Grip Strength Test	A hand dynamometer (pinch meter gauge; Jamar® Hand Dynamometer - Hydraulic - 200 lb Capacity. Patterson Medical Illinois, USA) will be used to determine the grip strength of the participants. While taking the measurements, the patients will be seated with the shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow flexed at 90°, forearm and wrist in neutral position. Each grip test will be repeated three times and the highest score for the affected extremity will be used for further analysis.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale	It is a clinician-evaluated outcome scale that examines the patient's participation in therapy and motivation. While the test period lasts 5 minutes, it consists of 6 different scores (1-none/6-excellent). Higher scores mean better performance.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module	It is a versatile scale that helps to evaluate the quality of life in elderly individuals. WHOQOL-OLD consists of 6 sections: sensory skills, autonomy, past-present-future activities, social participation, death and relationships, and includes 4 items in each section, consisting of a total of 24 questions.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Digit Span Test	It consists of two sub-categories, forward and backward number range, and evaluates attention . During the test, the participant is asked to repeat the numbers from 1 to 9 in mixed order, starting from 4 and increasing to 8. At this time, it is important to note that each number is said in one second, slowing down may develop different strategies. The forward range consists of 5 to 7 numbers, while the reverse range consists of 3 to 7 numbers. The participant is asked to count forward or backward from the number said. As many points as they can say are noted as a score.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Duruöz Hand Index	It is an 18-item, self-answered scale that evaluates hand activity limitations and its effect on activities of daily living. In the scale where scores between 0-90 can be obtained, high scores indicate low function.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Stroop Test	The Stroop Test measures the processing speed, the ability to suppress habitual behavior, focused attention, the ability to do unusual behavior, the ability to change the perceptual setup according to changing demands, and under a disturbing effect. The tests proved to be reliable (with test/retest reliabilities ranging from acceptable (r=0.63) to high (r=0.88) and sensitive to detect small differences in subjects from different age categories.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Purdue Pegboard Test	The Purdue Pegboard consists of a board with holes into which metal pegs are inserted by the patient. It also comes with washers and collars to be placed on the pins. The test measures movements, coordination and speed of hand and finger dexterity. In the test procedures, the patient is first asked to use the right hand to properly insert as many pins as possible in the holes. Then, the same procedure is repeated for the left hand. In the final stage the patient is given 60 sec to place the pins, washers and collars using both hands.	changes after 8 weeks
Secondary	Box and Block Test	It examines unilateral gross motor skills. A stopwatch, a wooden box with a middle section, and 150 wooden cubes are the required materials. The total duration of the test is 2-5 minutes. The test can be applied between the ages of 6 and 65. Within 60 seconds, which is kept by the stopwatch, it is requested to pass the cubes one by one from one compartment to the other and the number of cubes is noted. This test is applied separately for both extremities.	changes after 8 weeks
