Abstract

Although there are many assessment tools for upper extremity (UE) function, it is still difficult to select an appropriate outcome measurement for the rehabilitation process of individuals with stroke. This review aims to classify each tool within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework and provide an overview of UE assessments. Through a comprehensive understanding of assessments based on ICF, health care professionals will be able to choose suitable measurement tools for individuals, facilitating their rehabilitation.
