Inclusion

Has been shown to be valid by evidence of relationship to standard assessments. The methods section was screened to include groups with various levels of impairment due to stroke, and during different stroke stages (acute, subacute and chronic). Records included for reliability must perform Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) for multiple sessions (test–retest) and/or raters (inter-rater)

Exclusion
