Upper Limb Ischemia
Conditions
Brief summary
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_TESTFunctional 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)
