Welcome to the REACH Home Page! The Rating of Everyday Arm-use in the Community and Home (REACH) Scale is a self-report measure for individuals with stroke that captures how the affected arm and hand is being used outside of the clinical setting. The REACH scale was developed using input from clients, caregivers and clinicians who work with individuals with stroke. It is available in multiple languages. |
By providing a rich description of how the affected upper limb is used outside of the clinical setting, the REACH scale fills an important gap among current measures of upper limb use and is useful for understanding the long term effects of stroke rehabilitation.
