MAS
The Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) is a clinician-rated, performance-based measure of motor function specifically developed for stroke survivors. Created by Carr, Shepherd, and colleagues (1985) at the University of Sydney, the MAS evaluates 8 fundamental motor tasks reflecting functional mobility and motor control relevant to post-stroke recovery. The MAS has become a standard outcome measure in stroke rehabilitation research and clinical practice, widely used to assess and track motor recovery following acute and chronic stroke.
