We investigated actual daily life upper limb (UL) activity in relation to observed UL motor function and perceived UL activity in chronic stroke in order to better understand and improve UL activity in daily life. 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 ≤75) activity (mismatch, n = 15) with Mann-Whitney U analysis. The mismatch group only differed from the good match group in perceived UL activity (median (Q1-Q3) = 50 (30-70) versus 93 (85-100); 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.
