Convergent Validity for the Functional Upper Extremity Levels (FUEL) in Stroke Rehabilitation

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Convergent validity of the FUEL is established using the UE-FMA as a comparison. The FUEL can be applied in neurological rehabilitation to provide a clinical picture of a client's UE function. This research supports the value of the FUEL's application in clinical poststroke care. What This Article Adds: The FUEL is a valid tool to assess the UE in an acute neurological population.PMID:37272905 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050026
