Short- and long-term effects of an inhibitor hand splint in poststroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:In India, post-stroke outcomes are determined using functional outcome measures (FOMs), the contents of which have not been validated for their relevance to the Indian population. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cultural validity of five frequently used stroke-specific FOMs by comparing their content...
