The manual ability measure an occupation-based hand assessment

All patients received occupational therapy intervention for 2—37 wk and were retested at discharge. Manual ability improved significantly at discharge in all patients. Patients also showed significant improvement on the SHFT. The correlation between gain in MAM—36 and gain in grip strength was moderate. The standardized response mean for the MAM—36 was 1. The MAM—36 was responsive to changes in hand function in patients receiving occupational therapy services. MAM—36 results correlated positively with improvements in task performance speeds and grip strength.
