Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Modified Box and Block Test

  The Modified Box and Block (mBBT) test is an upper extremity performance test.Unlike BBT, in mBBT, instead of randomly picking the cubes, 16 cubes are arranged in a certain order. The cubes are asked to take the other cubes in that row, starting from the innermost left cube, first to the right, and then to the next upper row. It is recorded how many seconds passed through 16 cubes placed at a certain level.

  10 minute

• Targeted Box and Block Test

  In tBBT, as in mBBT, the time of passing 16 cubes over the obstacle to the other side is recorded. However, the difference from mKBT is that 16 cubes are placed at a certain level, but the patients are asked to place the cubes on the other side in 4 cm squares where the cube will be placed. These squares correspond to the left symmetrical position of the cube on the right. In this way, patients have to place the cube they grasp only at the desired point.
