Abstract
Conclusions: We present a comprehensive, critical, and original summary of current
recommendations. Defining a core set of measures and agreed protocols requires
international consensus between experts representing the diverse and multi-disciplinary
field of neurorehabilitation including clinical researchers and practitioners, rehabilitation
technology researchers, and commercial developers. Current lack of guidance may
hold-back progress in understanding function and recovery. Together with a Delphi
consensus study and an overview of systematic reviews of outcome measures it will
contribute to the development of international guidelines for upper limb assessment in
neurological conditions.
