Abstract

Date Presented 4/18/2015

The Stroke Upper Limb Capacity Scale (SULCS) is a newer assessment that needs to be further understood and related to other measures commonly used in rehabilitation settings. This research suggests that the SULCS may be preferred over other traditional assessments as a brief measure of upper-extremity capacity.
