“…It is a timed test lasting 1 min per assessed arm, and both limbs are typically tested (Mathiowetz et al, 1985). The strengths of the BBT include its durability, ease of administration to individuals with various diagnoses and its strong psychometric values (Desrosiers et al, 1994; Li et al, 2020). Validity and reliability of the BBT have been well established, and high inter‐rater reliability and strong construct validity have been previously shown (Platz et al, 2005).…”
