Primary | Change Score of Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Index Nine (CAHAI 9) Baseline to Follow-up (2 Timepoints) | The change score (Follow-up - Baseline) for the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Index 9 is reported. The change score scale ranges 0(min) to 63 (max). Higher scores indicate greater ability. Follow-up is at 6 weeks post treatment cessation. The scale measure bilateral activity performance. | value at 6 weeks minus value at baseline | |
Secondary | Change Score (Value at Follow-up - Value at Baseline) Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Test of Function | Change score between 2-time points (6 weeks follow up - baseline) Change score scale: minimum is 0 and maximum is 66. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. | value at 6 weeks minus value at baseline |
