Description

Scrutinio et al reported models for predicting functional outcomes after stroke rehabilitation. One model predicts motor functional independence and a second predicts ability to perform activities of daily living. The authors are from IstitutiClinicaScientifici Maugeri-SPA and other institutions in Italy.


Patient selection: stroke patient after stroke rehabilitation

 

Outcome: probability of a FIS >= 5 (no more than supervision of activities of daily living)

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) sex

(3) time since stroke occurrence to rehabilitation admission in days

(4) motor-FIM score, from 13 to 91

(5) cognitive FIM score, from 5 to 35
