First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study adapted several questionnaires that measure arm and hand function after a stroke into Polish, and checked how reliable and accurate they are. One hundred people who had an ischemic stroke at least six months ago took part. The goal was to give Polish-speaking patients and doctors better tools to track recovery.
