Evolution of the Patient's Perception of the Use of the Upper Limb After a Stroke During Intensive Rehabilitation

This study is being carried out in the context of rehabilitation after stroke, where persistent upper limb weakness is a major challenge. It aims to explore the relationship between observed function and patients' perceived participation in use.

Treatment and study plan

Functional assessments

Diagnostic Test
  • Computer Adaptive Test for Fugl-Meyer (CAT-FM)
  • Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)
  • Measurement of Functional Independence
  • Star cancellation test
  • Stroke Impact Scale
  • ACTIVLIM (assesses the ability to perform activities of daily living requiring the use of the upper limbs)

Primary outcomes

  1. To assess whether the perception of use of the impaired upper limb improves during intensive rehabilitation after a stroke.

    Time frame: Up to 2 months

    various tests : computer adaptive test F-M, ARA test, MIF test, star concellation test, ACTIVLIM test

  2. To compare the difference between perception and observed function of the upper limb during intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment.

    Time frame: Up to 2 months

    various tests : computer adaptive test F-M, ARA test, MIF test, star concellation test, ACTIVLIM test
