About this trial
Primary objective of this study is to explore the impact of a 3-week upper limb hand function training in patients with PD, MS or stroke. The benefits on hand function of this training program will be evaluated. The hypothesize is that the 3-week upper limb hand function training improves finger dexterity.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
hand dexterity
Nine Hole Peg test (9-HPT): The 9-HPT is a standardized, well established, and reliable measure of hand dexterity in patients with PD, MS, or stroke. seconds will be measured.
Time frame
3 weeksSecondary outcomes
1
fine finger movements
Coin rotation task (CRT): The CRT measures fine coordinated finger movements and is a suitable and valid dexterity test in patients with PD, MS, or stroke. The seconds for 20 halfturns will be measured.
Time frame
3 weeks2
grip strength
The handheld JAMAR dynamometer measures the grip strength. kg will be measured.
Time frame
3 weeks3
cognition
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA): Cognitive screening tool with a scale from 0 - 30 points. A higher score means a better outcome.
Time frame
baseline4
executive function
Trail Making Tests (TMT) parts A \& B. Results for both TMT A and B are reported as the number of seconds required to complete the task; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment.
