Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measurement of the AHA (Assisting Hand Assessment) score		5 weeks
Secondary	Evolution of the AHA score	a variance analysis using 2 factors (time, group) is used (between the onset and 5 weeks later, between the onset and 10 weeks later)	baseline, 5 weeks, 10 weeks
Secondary	Measurement of the maximal grasp and pinch strength	with a Baseline dynamometer	baseline, 5 weeks, 10 weeks
Secondary	Qualitative and quantitative measurement of movement	by a kinematic analysis via an Optitrack system	baseline, 5 weeks, 10 weeks
Secondary	Measurement of the manual ability	by Abilhand-kids questionnaire	baseline, 5 weeks, 10 weeks
