Factors associated with upper extremity use after stroke: a scoping review of accelerometry studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A discrepancy between the level of impairment at the upper extremity (UE) and its use in activities of daily life is frequently observed in individuals who have experienced a stroke. Wrist-worn accelerometers allow an objective and valid measure of UE use in everyday life. Accelerometer studies have shown that a wide range of factors beyond UE impairment can influence UE use. This scoping review aims to identify factors associated with UE use and to investigate the influence of different types of accelerometry metrics on these associations.

Method

A search using CINHAL, Embase, MEDLINE, Compendex, and Web of Science Core Collection databases was performed. Studies that assessed the association between UE use quantified with accelerometers and factors related to th
