Assessing upper limb function: the Spanish version of the Stroke Upper Limb Capacity Scale (SULCS): cross-cultural adaptation and clinimetric properties

Abstract Background More than 70% of stroke survivors suffer from upper extremity paresis, which limits the ability to perform activities of daily living. To guide rehabilitation, specific tools that accurately evaluate upper limb function are essential.
