Reliability and validity of a newly developed Action Research Arm Test for upper limb function assessment in patients with stroke: A comparison with the conventional version

The new ARAT demonstrates measurement properties equivalent to the conventional version with excellent reliability and strong criterion-related validity. Its robust convergent validity with established upper limb assessments supports its clinical utility for comprehensive stroke rehabilitation evaluation.
