Effects of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

Upper limb function was assessed with the Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). The questionnaire DASH is a self-report instrument with 30 items. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a worse upper limb function.

The test assesses hemiparetic upper extremity functional tasks.The increase in the scores of both subparameters of the scale, which is composed of the parameters of functional ability and quality of movement, indicates an improvement in the motor functions of the upper limbs.

Fine motor skills of the upper extremities were assessed.The patient was asked to insert the nine sticks in the box on the table into the holes in the other box as quickly as possible and then remove them immediately. As time increases, fine motor skills of the upper extremities decrease

"Sleep quality was assessed using the this test.This scale, which provides a quantitative measure of sleep quality, is a 19-item self-report scale. The total score greater than 5 indicates poor sleep quality."

This test assessed functional capacity in activities of daily living.The higher a person's score, the higher the level of independence.
