What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Stoke | Hemiplegia with unilateral changes in tone and muscle strength |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Muscle tone
Measured: Immediately after stroke, during the first week in hospital every other day, and then once a week before discharging from hospital
Secondary outcomes (1)
Muscle strength
Measured: Immediately after stroke, during the first week in hospital every other day, and then once a week before discharging from hospital
