Description

Wood-Daughnee et al developed the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) to evaluate the global function status of a patient during rehabilitation. The instrument can be used to evaluate the degree to which the patient has been able to return to a normal life. The authors are from McGill University and Montreal General Hospital.


 

The instrument consists of 11 statements:

 

Scoring is based on distance along a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS).

Response

Score

no reintegration

0

complete reintegration

10

total score =

= SUM(points for all 11 items)

 

adjusted score =

= (total score) / 110 * 100

 

Interpretation:

• minimum adjusted score: 0

• maximum adjusted score: 100

• The higher the score, the better the patient’s perceived reintegration.
