Abstract:
Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare three upper limb ability assessments - the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Arm Motor Ability Test (AMAT), and Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) - in acute stroke occupational therapy practice during a 6-month period, to identify whether any or all were appropriate for use in acute stroke care.
