Assessing longitudinal change in coordination of the paretic upper limb using on-site 3-dimensional kinematic measurements.

abstract：Background:Stair climb power is an important clinical measure of lower-extremity power. The stair climb power test (SCPT) was validated by requiring individuals to climb a full flight of stairs. A 4-step SCPT (4SCPT) would be more clinically feasible and easier to perform, yet its reliability and validity are unknown. ...
