We included 312 persons, about 10 days poststroke, with a mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) of 7.3. Participants were also assessed on the functional independence measure (FIM), Upper Extremity\u2013Motricity Index (UE-MI), modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, and proportion of home discharges.

Admission and discharge FIM, NIHSS, and proportion of home discharges were higher with more favorable SULCS hand categories. Floor effect was 11.9% and ceiling effect was 14.7% with an acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s alpha of 0.92). The SULCS is a valid measure of upper extremity capacity at admission to inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Further examination regarding ceiling effects and responsiveness in inpatient stroke rehabilitation is recommended.\n
