Book excerpt: HOW CAN THE ASSISTING HAND ASSESSMENT FOR ADULTS AFTER STROKE (AD-AHA STROKE) INFORM INTERVENTION PLANNING AND MEASURE CHANGE?Hand skills are vital for the performance of activities in everyday life and using the two hands together is critical to conduct most activities. Still hand function assessments commonly focus on unimanual aspects. The recently developed Ad-AHA Stroke measures how effectively a patient with a hemiparesis use his/her affected hand together with the unaffected hand to perform bimanual tasks. The aim of this presentation is to report the current evidence of the psychometrics of the Ad-AHA Stroke and to discuss how the results can be used to measure change and guide intervention aiming at improving the functional us of the affected hand. The Ad-AHA Stroke has demonstrated strong evidence of internal scale validity by use of Rasch analyses as well as strong external validity to outcomes of the Jebsen and Taylor Test of Hand Function and the ABILHAND Stroke indicated. The Adult-Assisting Hand Assessment Stroke contributes a new and clinically important aspect to stroke rehabilitation by providing a valid bimanual observation-based measure to guide intervention and measure change over time.
