SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Time (in seconds) to complete the total Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test administered at 8-weeks. The test consists of 7 subtests. Each subtest is allotted a maximum time of 90 seconds. The total score is the sum of the scores of the seven subtests. The total score has a maximum of 630 seconds and there is no minimum. Longer time to complete the test indicates worse hand function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Time (in seconds) to complete the four fine-motor subtests of the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test administered at 8-weeks. Each of the four subtests is allotted a maximum time of 90 seconds. The total score is the sum of the scores of the four subtests. The total score has a maximum of 360 seconds and there is no minimum. Longer time to complete the test indicates worse hand function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Time (in seconds) to complete the three gross-motor subtests of the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test administered at 8-weeks. Each of the three gross-motor subtests is allotted a maximum time of 90 seconds. The total gross-motor score is the sum of the scores of the three subtests. The total score has a maximum of 270 seconds and there is no minimum. Longer time to complete the test indicates worse hand function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Test score at 8-weeks. Score ranges from 0 to 66, with higher scores corresponding to better arm function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

The MMT score is the sum of the Medical Research Council (MRC) scores across 5 domains (elbow flexor, elbow extensor, wrist extension, finger extension and finger flexion) at 8 weeks. Each domain has a scale range of 0 to 5, with higher scores corresponding to better strength. Maximum MMT score ranges from 0-25, with higher scores corresponding to better strength.
