“…According to Haigh et al (2001), numerous assessment tools have been used to measure therapy outcomes for stroke, such as the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) (Dodds et al, 1993), the Barthel Index (Mahoney and Barthel, 1965), the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (Collen et al, 1991) and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form General Health Survey (SF-36) (Ware and Sherbourne, 1992).

However, these scales only measure a certain domain of performance in relation to activity limitation (Unsworth, 2005).…”
