ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a test called the Box and Block Test, which is used to measure how well people can move their hands after having a stroke. The main goal of the study is to see how reliable this test is when administered according to a new set of guidelines in Czech. The researchers want to make sure that the test results are consistent and trustworthy.

To participate in the trial, you need to be an adult who speaks Czech and has had a stroke. You should also be able to move small blocks a certain distance and complete the test three times while sitting for about 20 minutes. However, if you have severe vision or hearing problems, or if you're taking medications that affect your attention, you may not be eligible to join. If you decide to participate, you'll help researchers understand how effective this test is for assessing hand movement in stroke patients.
