Upper limb use differs among people with varied upper limb impairment levels early post-stroke: a single-site, cross-sectional, observational study.

Conclusions: Patterns of UL use differed by severity of impairment. Moderate and severe groups used their paretic UL more during therapy, inferring that it is possible to increase paretic use despite motor impairment. Future research stratifying by impairment across multinational sites is warranted to generalize findings. PMID: 31741429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
