Poststroke Grasp Ability Assessment Using an Intelligent Data Glove Based on Action Research Arm Test: Development, Algorithms, and Experiments.

Growing impact of poststroke upper extremity (UE) functional limitations entails newer dimensions in assessment methodologies. This has compelled researchers to think way beyond traditional stroke assessment scales during the out-patient rehabilitation phase. In concurrence with this, sensor-driven quantitative evaluation of poststroke UE functional limitations has become a fertile field of research.

Recording inpatient weight: implications for medicines administration.

Aim: To identify the proportions of hospital inpatients with recorded weights: among all patients, and among those receiving weight-dosed drug therapy.

Method: Survey of clinical notes of hospital inpatients across a convenience sample of 11 secondary and tertiary referral hospitals in England and Wales in November 2011.

Results: 1068 patients were included, and 1061 patient clinical notes were available (99.
