Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to design and validate new tool for evaluation of self-sufficiency in post-acute stroke patients. And further identify the factors influencing changes in the Functional Efficiency of Self-sufficiency Test (FEST) in post-acute rehabilitation care.

Conditions

Stroke/Brain Attack

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Psychometric characteristics validation

  The following tests will be performed on the FEST test: internal consistency, correlation between variables, convergent validity, and factor analysis. The psychometric properties of the FEST will be compared with those of the Barthel Index and the Action Research Arm Test.

  1.8.2024-31.8.2025

Interventions

Functional Efficiency of Self-sufficiency Test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Barthel Index has 10 items focusing on mobility, feeding, grooming, hygiene, dressing, bladder control and bowel control. It scores from 0-100 points. A higher score indicates better performance. The Action Research Arm Test is 19-item observational measure used for the assessment of UE performance in stroke recovery. Scores range from 0-57 points. A higher score indicates a better outcome.

Also known as: The Barthel Index, The Action Research Arm Test
