The worldwide prevalence of stroke in 2010 was 33 million, with 16.9 million people having a first stroke.¹ Approximately two-thirds of patients have upper limb limitations, with only 5 to 20% demonstrating full recovery at six months post stroke.² For individuals and society at large, this has important implications as reduced upper limb capacity is associated with dependence in activities of daily living (ADL) and poor quality of life for both patients and their carers.³
