Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of accelerometry for measuring upper-extremity rehabilitation outcome.Design: Validation study.Setting: Data recorded in the community.Participants: Consecutive Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CIMT) patients (n=10) and volunteer community residents with stroke (n = 10). All participants were more than I year poststroke and had mild to moderate motor impairment of the more affected arm.Intervention: All study participants were asked to wear accelerometers outside the laboratory for 3 days immediately before and after treatment, or for an approximately equivalent no-treatment period (controls).Main Outcome Measures: Participants wore an accelerometer on each arm, the chest, and the more affected leg and completed the Motor Activity Log (MAL), which is a semi-structured interview of real-world arm use.Results: Test-retest reliability of transformed accelerometer recordings was greater than .86. There was also a large increase in the ratio of transformed more- to less-impaired arm recordings in CIMT therapy patients (d'=0.9, P
