Development and Psychometric Testing of the Bimanual Assessment Measure for People With Chronic Stroke.
Article in The American journal of occupational therapy : official publication of the American Occupational Therapy Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
importanceFew tools are available to assess bimanual deficits after stroke.
objectiveTo develop the Bimanual Assessment Measure (BAM), which assesses a person's hand coordination in both preferred and prestroke roles (i.e., stabilizer or manipulator).
designDevelopment and psychometric testing of the BAM.
settingResearch laboratory.
participantsPeople with chronic stroke (n = 24), age-matched controls (n = 23), and occupational therapists (n = 40). OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: We assessed the BAM's internal consistency, reliability, and face and known-groups validity.
resultsItems were selected as meaningful tasks that represented a range of bimanual coordination requirements (e.g., symmetrical forces and timing, asymmetrical forces and timing, time-limited reactive movement). Focus groups of people with stroke and occupational therapists provided input into BAM development. The BAM was found to have excellent reliability and internal consistency and face and known-groups validity. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The BAM is a valid, reliable measure for people with chronic stroke that identifies bimanual coordination deficits beyond unimanual impairments and the potential capacity for people to return to prestroke hand roles (i.e., as a manipulator). What This Article Adds: This article introduces the BAM as a new assessment measure of bimanual functioning with the potential capacity to restore prestroke hand roles as either a manipulator or a stabilizer among people with chronic stroke.
