Distribution of the levels of evidence. The inner circles show the distribution in Levels. The donut around the pie in A illustrates the patient population that was measured, showing that most articles in all Levels measured adult stroke patients. The donut around the pie in B illustrates the measured joints, showing that most articles measured the shoulder in combination with the elbow in Level 0, the wrist or fingers in Level I and the ankle Level II. The donut around the pie in C illustrates the reference test, showing little variety in reference tests. The donut around the pie in D illustrates the number of articles that used control groups in certain levels. AS: Ashworth Scale, MAS: Modified Ashworth Scale, MTS: Modified Tardieu Scale, PROM: Passive Range of Motion, CP: Cerebral Palsy
