Development and Psychometric Testing of the Bimanual Assessment Measure for People With Chronic Stroke

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The BAM is a valid, reliable measure for people with chronic stroke that identifies bimanual coordination deficits beyond unimanual impairments and the potential capacity for people to return to prestroke hand roles (i.e., as a manipulator). What This Article Adds: This article introduces the BAM as a new assessment measure of bimanual functioning with the potential capacity to restore prestroke hand roles as either a manipulator or a stabilizer among people with chronic stroke.PMID:35671509 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2022.048995
