Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the principal aims of this trial?

"This trial has two main objectives to assess over a period of around 10 weeks: (1) Alterations in Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores and (2) Modifications in Confidence in Arm and Hand Movement Scale. Secondary goals include shifts from the initial Home-based Accelerometry readings, as measured by GENEActiv sensors worn for 72 hours on both wrists at each assessment point; along with changes recorded via Wolf Motor Function Test Time assessments which can take up to 2 minutes per task, scored on a 6-point scale."
