Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity Scores (FMA-UE scores) baseline to 4 weeks
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. It is applied clinically and in research to determine disease severity, describe motor recovery, and to plan and assess treatment. The FMA-UE scores measure motor impairment of upper extremity. The motor domain includes items assessing movement, coordination, and reflex action of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand.
Time frame: Change from baseline to 4 weeks

Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) baseline to 4 weeks
The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is an evaluative measure to assess specific changes in limb function among individuals who sustained cortical damage resulting in hemiplegia. It assesses a client's ability to handle objects differing in size, weight and shape and therefore can be considered to be an arm-specific measure of activity limitation.

Short-Form Health Survey Hong Kong version (HK-SF-36) baseline to 4 weeks
The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a widely used, generic, patient-report measure created to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the general population. SF-36 is the most commonly used generic instrument for measuring quality of life.
