Evaluating Perceived Upper Limb Function Post-stroke: A Systematic Review of Psychometric Properties in Outcome Measures

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for perceived upper limb performance after stroke that have demonstrated sufficient measurement properties, such as content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, and reliability.
• Explain the importance of selecting PROMs that accurately capture real-world functional performance and recognize the limitations of current measures in stroke rehabilitation.
• Recognize the gaps in the current evidence base and the need for high-quality, COSMIN-guided studies to strengthen the evidence on measurement properties like measurement error, cross-cultural validity, and responsiveness.
