What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Motricity Motor Scale | Index for motor impairment after stroke | 5 minutes | 
| Trunk Impairment Scale | It consists of 3 subscales of static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination | 10 minutes | 
| The Box and Block Test | The Box and Block Test (BBT) measures unilateral gross manual dexterity. It is a quick, simple and inexpensive test. It can be used with a wide range of populations, including clients with stroke. | 2 minutes | 
| The Nine-Hole Peg Test | The Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) is used to measure finger dexterity in patients with various neurological diagnoses. Administered by asking the client to take the pegs from a container, one by one, and place them into the holes on the board, as quickly as possible. | 2 minutes | 
| Treatment Satisfaction Scale | The amount of satisfaction that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none (0) to an extreme amount of satisfaction (10). | 30 sec. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Global Rating of Change Scale | Global Rating of Change (GRC) scales provide a means of measuring self-perceived change in health status. | 30 sec. |
