Fig 6
Frequency of use in the ten countries with most publications.
Distributions (in % use) shown for Ashworth, Motor Activity Log (MAL), Fugl-Meyer Test (FMT) and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT). Frequency of use of particular measures across countries varied greatly and was not homogenous. The Fugl-Meyer Test (FMT, Fig 5C) has high rates of use in most countries, except in Australia and UK, where the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT, Fig 5D) was used more often.
