Abstract

Date Presented 4/9/2016

The use of unbiased methods to quantify upper extremity (UE) performance in daily life is critical for stroke rehabilitation. This case series evaluated the relationship between change in UE functional capacity and UE performance using bilateral wrist-worn accelerometers for persons with UE paresis poststroke.
