Implementation of a HABIT-ILE Intervention at William Lennox Neurological Hospital (NeuREHA) - Adult

This assessment is an observation-based instrument assessing the effectiveness of the spontaneous use of the affected hand when performing bimanual activities in adults post stroke scored in a logit based 0-100 AHA-unit scale (higher score indicate higher ability)

The FMA-UE assess reflex activity, movement control and muscle strength in the upper extremity of people with post-stroke hemiplegia. Maximum score is 66 points (Higher scores indicates better functioning levels)

The BBT is a test of gross manual dexterity. Each hand is tested individually and the BBT is scored through the number of blocks carried over the partition from one part to another part of a box during the one-minute trial period.

This is an interview-setting designed to capture a patient's self-perception of performance and satisfaction of it in everyday activities, observed over time. During the interview, parents set up 5 activities considered difficult in daily life. These are then assessed, in a 1 to 10 scale, regarding the child's self-perception of performance and satisfaction of it. The total score is the average of the scores for perception and satisfaction separately (score from 1 to 10; higher score means better performance/satisfaction)

Self-reported questionnaire assessing multidimensional repercussions of the Stroke (strength, hand function, daily life activities, mobility, communication, emotion, memory, thinking and participation). Domains are scored on a metric of 0 to 100 (higher scores indicate better self-reported health)

The ACTIVLIM-Stroke questionnaire measures a patient's ability to perform daily activities requiring the use of the upper and/or lower extremities through 20 items specific to patients after stroke. It ranges from - 6 to +6 logits (higher score means better performance).

The ABILHAND questionnaire specific to patients with chronic stroke measures a patient's manual ability to manage daily activities that require the use of the upper extremities, whatever the strategies involved, through 23 items. It ranges from -6 to +6 logits (higher score means better performance).

The Bells Test is a cancellation test that allows for a quantitative and qualitative assessment of visual neglect in the near extra personal space. The patient score is based on the amount of time they take to complete the task, and the number of correct items (35 bells) they identify.

The MoCA is a brief screening instrument originally designed to identify mild cognitive impairments in elderly patients attending a memory clinic. MoCA evaluates different domains (visuospatial abilities, executive functions, short-term memory recall, attention, concentration, working memory, language, and orientation to time and space) having a total of 30 points (higher scores indicate better self-reported health)

The miniBEST test is a shortened version of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest). It assesses 6 different balance control systems, the BESTest was shortened based on factor analysis to include dynamic balance only (Higher scores indicate better performance). The test is a 14-item test scord on a 3-level ordinal scale (0-2). higher score means better performance.

The 2MWT assess endurance while walking 2 minutes without pause. More distance walked (in meters) indicate better performance.

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a 15-item impairment assessment scale designed to evaluate the neurological consequences and degree of recovery of a stroke patient. The scale assesses level of consciousness, extraocular movements, field of vision, facial muscle function, strength of extremities, sensory function, coordination (ataxia), language (aphasia), speech (dysarthria) and hemineglect (neglect).

The Tardieu Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) are clinical measures of muscle spasticity for use in patients with neurological disorders. In the Tardieu Scale or the MTS, spasticity is quantified by assessing the response of the muscle when it is stretched at various velocities.

The system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.
