Assessment of functional improvement in the hemiparetic arm following focal rehabilitation intervention
… from another person (or their own non-affected arm) to care for the affected limb (passive function). The aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a self-report upper limb measure of active and passive function – the Arm Activity measure (ArmA) for use in focal spasticity management. <br/> …
