    Introduction: "Cerebrovascular Accident" (CVA) is a pathology that can appear abruptly in a person, potentially causing permanent brain injury or even death. CVA is a neurological condition often resulting from an inadequate lifestyle, causing paralysis of the body opposite the injury, known as "hemiplegia." In Peru, CVA ranks fourth in terms of disability and mortality rate, where individuals show more difficulty in trunk control and manual skills. In many cases, the upper extremity is more affected than the lower extremity, and one of the consequences is painful shoulder syndrome along with hand dysfunction, limiting the ability to perform manual skills. Objective: To determine the relationship between manual function and upper limb disability in hemiplegic patients. Materials and Methods: The research is quantitative, non-experimental, and correlational, with a population of 100 hemiplegic individuals attending a hospital in Tacna. The methodology includes using the Upper Limb Action Dexterity Scale (ARAT) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire to assess manual function and disability, respectively.
