I never had these tests, no point since I didn't have any grasp control.

What is Manual Dexterity?
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability with an estimated 25,500 new stroke events occurring annually in Ontario (Ontario Stroke Network, 2016).
Upper-extremity hemiparesis is an impairment that can impact an individual’s motor abilities post-stroke and decrease their manual dexterity skills.
Manual dexterity includes the ability to grip, manipulate, and release objects (Teremetz, Colle, Hamdoun, Maier, & Lindberg, 2015).
Important skill to possess to support engagement in activities of daily living including grooming tasks, meal preparation, writing, and playing a musical instrument.
Both are very old tests that are too high level for many stroke survivors.
