Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
52 VECTORS participants assessed 9.5/25.9 days. Jamar handle 3, mean 3, patient affected-arm anchor; 12 minimally meaningful improvers. MCID 5.0 kg dominant-affected and 6.2 kg nondominant-affected; not paretic/nonparetic. Overlapping perception groups and small anchor subset support caveat.
Source locator: Methods Grip strength/MCID; Results; Table 3
Limitations: VECTORS shared trial baseline/followup; published anchor calculation not independently re-estimated.
