Registered outcomes24
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) | baseline, 1 month, 4 months | The UE-FMA subscale will be used to assess the sensorimotor impairment level of UE in patients after stroke. The UE-FMA contains 33 movements with a score range from 0 to 66. A higher UE-FMA score indicates less impairment of the paretic limb. The validity and reliability of FMA is good to excellent. |
| Secondary | Change scores of Adelaide Activities Profile (AAP) | baseline, 1 month | AAP will be applied to indicate the level of participation in household and community activities. This profile includes 21 activities in the four areas: domestic chores, household maintenance, service to others, and social activities. It scores on a scale of 0-3, with higher point meaning more frequent participation. The AAP is found to have good validity and reliability. |
| Secondary | Change scores of 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) | baseline, 1 month | The 10MWT assess mobility function by measuring the time and the numbers of strides required to walk 10 meters under two conditions: (1) with the self-pace of each participant (self-pace); (2) with the speed that the participants walked as soon as possible. The velocity and stride length of the participant are calculated. Research has validated the 10MWT in measuring mobility in stroke. |
| Secondary | Change scores of Stroop test | baseline, 1 month | The Number Stroop Test of the Psychology Experiment Building Language (Mueller, \& Piper, 2014) was used to assess the inhibition ability. Participants will be asked to respond to the amount but not the name of stimuli. |
| Secondary | Change scores of pressure pain threshold | baseline, 1 month | The Commander Algometer (JTECH Medical, USA) is designed for easy handling and fine resolution to identify clinically significant pain sensitivity changes. The Commander Algometer provides a convenient, efficient, objective pain evaluation tool for treatment planning, progress evaluation and case management. The measured pressure thresholds/tolerances and trigger point tenderness will be reported by patients. |
| Secondary | Change scores of Dual-Task Block and Box Test | baseline, 1 month, 4 months | Investigators will use the dual-task test to determine the ability to perform 2 tasks at the same time in participants with stroke. The dual-task test evaluates an individual's attentional limitation, central executive function, and automatic processing ability.The primary task will be the box and block test (BBT) assessed with a wooden box containing 2 equally sized compartments. Cubes will be placed in 1 compartment, and the participants will be instructed to use transport the cubes to the other compartment 1-by-1 in their fastest speed. The number of cubes being moved within 60 seconds will be recorded. While performing the BBT, the participants will be required to perform a secondary task - counting backward by 7 or respond as fast as possible to different tones. |
| Secondary | Change scores of EuroQol (EQ)-5D questionnaire | baseline, 1 month | The quality of life will be assessed by the EQ-5D questionnaire which comprises the following five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has three levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems. The score has been shown to be reliable and valid . |
| Secondary | Change scores of Pinch and grasp dynamometer | baseline, 1 month | Grasp, palmar and lateral pinch strength will be assessed with the Jamar hand-held dynamometer. To perform the tests, subjects will seat with the upper extremity in 0° of shoulder flexion and 90° of elbow flexion. High reliability has been found for hand-held dynamometry. |
| Secondary | Change scores of The Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) | baseline, 1 month | CAHAI is a validated, upper-limb measure that uses a 7-point quantitative scale in order to assess functional recovery of the arm and hand after a stroke. The purpose of this measure is to evaluate the functional ability of the paretic arm and hand to perform tasks that have been identified as important by individuals following a stroke. The CAHAI has good psychometric properties. |
| Secondary | Change scores of The Facial Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R ) | baseline, 1 month | The FPS-R will be used to assess the level of post-exertional pain, respectively. These evaluations will be measured using a 6-point scale with no pain to extreme pain, which depicts six photocopied faces showing neutral to extremely painful expressions. The vertically aligned format of the scales will be used to prevent potential bias of report due to UN. |
