Background: The objectives of this study are; evaluating hemiplegic patients using the "Functional Independence Measurement Scale (FIM)", assessing the long-term daily life activities of patients receiving and not receiving rehabilitation based on FIM scale, emphasizing the prognostic importance of functional status assessment, and establishing the routine use of this scale in our clinic.
Material and Methods: The study conducted at Şişli Etfal Hospital used the Functional Independence Measurement Scale (FIM) to assess the functional independence of patients with cerebrovascular hemorrhage or ischemia. The patients were evaluated at different time points, including admission, discharge, and six months after the event. The FIM scale consists of 18 items in six categories, and each item is evaluated based on specific criteria. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a conventional rehabilitation program on the functional independence of the patients. p<0.05 was assumed statistically significant at 95% CI
Results: The study suggests that patients who received rehabilitation showed significant motor function improvement over time compared to those who did not receive rehabilitation. There was a strong correlation between the motor function status achieved after 6 months and the rehabilitation program. In the non-rehabilitation group, significant gains in motor function were observed during the initial period of the disease and the subsequent home control, but no significant change was seen between discharge and the 6-month home control (p>0.05)
Conclusion: The results indicated that patients who received rehabilitation showed significant improvements in motor function over time, and these improvements were greater compared to the non-rehabilitation group. The age, gender, and etiological cause of the stroke did not significantly affect the functional outcomes.
