Telerehabilitation for Post-Stroke Hand Function

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Hand Spread

  Change in voluntary ability to open the more-impaired hand from before the intervention (pre-intervention) to after the intervention (post-intervention). Hand spread will be measured with motion capture equipment. Hand Spread values range from 0 to no upper limit, with a greater value indicating improved voluntary hand opening ability

  Pre-intervention (an average of up to 1 week before the first intervention session) and post-intervention (an average of up to 1 week after completion of the 6-week intervention)

• Box and Block Test Score

  Change in a measure of arm ability from before the intervention (pre-intervention) to after its completion (post-intervention) using publicly available scoring sheets. The Box and Block test is scored based on how many blocks a patient can move between two adjacent boxes in 1 minute with their more-impaired hand. Box and Block scores range from 0 to no upper limit, with a higher score indicating greater arm ability

  Pre-intervention (an average of up to 1 week before the first intervention session) and post-intervention (an average of up to 1 week after completion of the 6-week intervention)

• Stroke Impact Scale-Hand Score

  Change in the hand function component of the Stroke Impact Scale, a participant-reported measure of hand participation in daily life from before the intervention (pre-intervention) to after its completion using publicly available scoring sheets. Stroke Impact Scale-Hand Scores can range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better self-reported hand function in daily life.
