Study population: All the data was from the medical record (from 2018/6/1 to 2021/6/30) from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at a medical center in Taiwan.

Brief summary: Purposes: The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties (e.g. test-retest reliability, random measurement error, practice effect, and responsiveness) of the commonly used measures in patients with stroke using medical record review.

The investigators anticipate reviewing 1000 stroke patients' medical record from a medical center in Taiwan. The medical record will be reviewed by an experienced and well-trained occupational therapist.

Detailed description: The investigators anticipate reviewing 1000 stroke patients' medical record (from 2018/6/1 to 2021/6/30) from a medical center in Taiwan. The medical record will be reviewed by an experienced and well-trained occupational therapist. The study was approved by the local institutional review board. Because the targeted populations for examining the test-retest reliability and responsiveness were different, the inclusion criteria were listed separately below.

Test-retest reliability Chronic stroke patients' data was reviewed to examine the test-retest reliability. The participants met the following criteria: (1) diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, (2) age ≥ 20 years, and (3) stroke onset ≥ 6 months (first and recurrent stroke included).

Responsiveness Subacute stroke patients' data was reviewed to examine the responsiveness. The participants met the following criteria: (1) diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, (2) age ≥ 20 years, and (3) stroke onset \< 3 months (first and recurrent stroke included).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria for test-retest reliability group (Chronic stroke patients' medical record was reviewed to examine the test-retest reliability) :

* Cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction.
* Age ≥ 20 years.
* Stroke onset ≥ 6 months (first and recurrent stroke included).

Inclusion criteria for responsiveness group (Subacute stroke patients' medical record was reviewed to examine the responsiveness):

* Cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction.
* Age ≥ 20 years.
* Stroke onset \< 3 months (first and recurrent stroke included).

Exclusion criteria

• Patients' diagnosis is not stroke.
