•A participant may enter the study if ALL of the following apply:
•1. Diagnosis of stroke
•2. Patient discharged home (i.e. permanent address, may include care home/sheltered accommodation)

•4. Informed written consent
•Non-English speakers will be included with the aid of family or friends to translate.

•1. Upper limb movement deficits attributable to non-stroke pathology
•2. Unable to lift hand off lap when asked to place hand behind head
