Description
Summary:Primary objective: To assess factors that may influence functional gain of patients with chronic sequelae of stroke. Research design: Prospective study of 290 stroke patients consecutively admitted to a rehabilitation setting. Methods and procedures: Functional Independence Measure Scale (FIM) was used to assess functional capacity. Functional improvement registered during hospitalization (FIM-gain score) was compared to demographic data, stroke sub-type, vascular risk factors, motor deficit, visual hemineglect, aphasia, level of response and sphincter control. FIM-gain score was classified as high-gain (≥ 22) and low-gain (
