  This best practice study found that the Management Tool for Acute Hemiplegic Shoulder (MTAHS) was the most appropriate tool for identifying risks for patients suffering from UE hemiparesis following a CVA in an acute care setting where time is limited. Some other challenges we face as OTs working with these clients in this setting include proper handling and positioning of the affected limb. Best practice for these challenges is also addressed in this article.
