Association Between Upper Limb Impairment and Function Within One Month Post Stroke and Self-care at Six Months.
Puntos clave
Independence with self-care may be projected by assessing upper limb impairment following a stroke, particularly within one month.
Key movements of the hand, wrist, and arm show potential as simple clinical tools for rehabilitation.
Observational analysis suggests that these movements can inform strategies for supporting independence in similar populations.
The findings emphasize the importance of early assessment to enable better long-term self-care outcomes for stroke patients.
Resumen
We propose easy to assess hand, wrist, and arm movements that may be effective clinical tools to project independence with self-care in the long term in similar populations.
