    <textblock>
      A survey was conducted among physiotherapists and occupational therapists working with stroke&#xD;
      patients. The survey consisted out of 30 questions enquiring personal information and upper&#xD;
      limb specific topics divided in 3 sections: (1) Passive mobilization, (2) Active exercises&#xD;
      and (3) Immobilization. The survey took approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The survey for stroke survivors was divided in seven sections: (1) Personal information (2)&#xD;
      Motor recovery of the upper limb and expectations on upper limb recovery; (3) Comfort, pain&#xD;
      and quality of life (QoL); (4) Immobilization ; (5) Physiotherapy; (6) Occupational therapy;&#xD;
      (7) Nursing (only for patients less than 6 months after stroke). The length to complete the&#xD;
      survey was also organized to be achieved in 20 to 30 minutes.&#xD;
