Study Notes
Upper Extremity Function Evaluations
- Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Performance Test assesses motor performance.
- Functional Test for the Hemiplegic/Paretic Upper Extremity evaluates functional use of the affected upper extremity.
- Modified Ashworth Scale measures spasticity.
- Range of motion, strength (manual muscle testing, dynamometer, pinch meter), and edema (volumeter) are measured as needed.
Balance Evaluations
- Berg Balance Scale predicts falls.
- Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) assesses posture in stroke patients.
- Motor Assessment Scale evaluates motor skills.
