A therаpist enters the dining rооm оf the аcute rehаbilitation unit where her next patient is seated in a wheelchair. The therapist observes the patient from afar and notes that the patient is posturing her left upper extremity with the elbow in flexion, forearm supinated, and wrist and fingers flexed when her right upper extremity is relaxed and resting on the table surface. Given that the therapist knows this patient has had a stroke on her right side, affecting the left, which assessment can the therapist make thus far?
