Recovery of Upper Limb Paresis at Discharge After Stroke and Its Level of Use in Activities of Daily Living 3 to 6 Months Later (Post AVC-AVQ)

The aim is to reduct spontaneous use an activities of daily living of the paretic upper limb after stroke i six months after patient discharge from rehabilitation center. The level of functional recovery at rehabilitation discharge could better guide rehabilitation strategies to enhance independence and participation in daily life. This study aims to determine, in patients after stroke, the optimal affected upper limb recovery threshold at rehabilitation discharge to predict spontaneous level of use of affected upper limb in activities of daily living, six month later. This study is a multicentric prognostic prospective cohort study. The main prognostic variable will be the Action Arm Test (ARAT, Lyle, 1981) score at rehabilitation discharge and the predicted variable will be the Motor Activity Log - 28 (Taub et al. 1993) score at 6 months post discharge.
