Therapists strongly support HIPM use for structuring and communicating clinical reasoning in UL neurorehabilitation. However, organizational support is key to optimizing clinical utility.

Different training tiers to suit therapist experience levels, refresher courses, and supplementary resources may improve therapists' skills and confidence, thereby boosting utility.
