In 60 patients, we collected (1) observed UL motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-UE)), (2) perceived UL activity (hand subscale of the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS-Hand)), and (3) daily life UL activity (bilateral wrist-worn accelerometers for 72 h) data. Data were compared between two groups of interest, namely (1) good observed (FMA-UE &gt;50) function and good perceived (SIS-Hand &gt;75) activity (good match, n = 16) and (2) good observed function but low perceived (SIS-Hand \u226475) activity (mismatch, n = 15) with Mann\u2013Whitney U analysis. The mismatch group only differed from the good match group in perceived UL activity (median (Q1\u2013Q3) = 50 (30\u201370) versus 93 (85\u2013100); p &lt; 0.001). Despite similar observed UL motor function and other clinical characteristics, the affected UL in the mismatch group was less active in daily life compared to the good match group (p = 0.013), and the contribution of the affected UL compared to the unaffected UL for each second of activity (magnitude ratio) was lower (p = 0.022). We conclude that people with chronic stroke with low perceived UL activity indeed tend to use their affected UL less in daily life despite good observed UL motor function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21175917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:18:26Z","timestamp":1630934306000},"page":"5917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Daily Life Upper Limb Activity for Patients with Match and Mismatch between Observed Function and Perceived Activity in the Chronic Phase Post Stroke"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5894-2899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bea","family":"Essers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4331-892X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marjan","family":"Coremans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6337-6780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janne","family":"Veerbeek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Luzerner Kantonsspital, Neurocenter, 6000 Lucerne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Luft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Neurology and Neurorehabilitation, Department of Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience Center, University of Zurich and University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Cereneo, Center for Neurology and Rehabilitation, 6354 Vitznau, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3095-8175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geert","family":"Verheyden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"737","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215518823248","article-title":"Outcome measures in post-stroke arm rehabilitation trials: Do existing measures capture outcomes that are important to stroke survivors, carers, and clinicians?","volume":"33","author":"Pollock","year":"2019","journal-title":"Clin.
