Patient's Structured Subjective Assessment
This is a 27 item questionnaire that addresses the subjects perception of the function of their hemiplegic arm and the effect this intervention had on their hand function. Subjects fill out the questionnaire prior to and directly after the intervention. Some questions require a response such as disagree, neutral and agree, others require ordering their gaming activity preferences, or responding to a question with a short answer.
