Overview
This study is being carried out in the context of rehabilitation after stroke, where persistent upper limb weakness is a major challenge. It aims to explore the relationship between observed function and patients' perceived participation in use.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Functional assessments
* Computer Adaptive Test for Fugl-Meyer (CAT-FM) * Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) * Measurement of Functional Independence * Star cancellation test * Stroke Impact Scale * ACTIVLIM (assesses the ability to perform activities of daily living requiring the use of the upper limbs)
Primary outcome measures
- To assess whether the perception of use of the impaired upper limb improves during intensive rehabilitation after a stroke. [Time frame: Up to 2 months]
- To compare the difference between perception and observed function of the upper limb during intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment. [Time frame: Up to 2 months]
Eligibility criteria
