Hi dram
Hand function tools
There are many tools for assess hand function in stroke patient.
1 Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity. I made this form myself and some national language showed up

Here the reference of Fugl-Meyer assessment will indicate you how to use this form.
Fugl-Meyer,A.R.,Jaasko,L.,Leyman,I.,Olsson,S.,& Steglind,S. :The Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patient.,I. A Method for Evaluation of Physical Performance.Scand J Rehab Med 1975, 7: 13-31.
2 The Arm Motor Ability Test (AMAT)
Reference:
Kopp et al. The Arm Motor Ability Test: Reliability,Validity,and Sensitivity to Change of an Instrument for Assessing Disabilities in Activities of Daily Living. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 1997, 78: 615-620.
3 Arm function tests.
Reference:
Wade DT, Langton-Hewer R, Wood VA, Skilbeck CE, Ismail HM . The hemiplegic arm after stroke: measurement and recovery. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1983; 46: 521-524.
4 The Action Research Arm test (ARA)
Reference:
Johanna H van der Lee, Leo D Roorda, Heleen Beckerman, Gustaaf J Lankhorst. Improving the Action Research Arm test: a unidimentional hiearchical scale.Clinical Rehabilitation 2002; 16; 646-653.
5 Subscale of Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) items 6-7and 8
Reference:
Carr JH, Shepherd RB, Nordholm E , Lynne D . Investication of a New Motor Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients. Physical Therapy 1985, 65: 175-180.
Hand functions in neurological patients we had to concern the whole pattern of upper extremity not only the hand. In orthopaedics you can use grip strength to measure improvement of the hand.
