“…Most other neuropsychological assessments cannot properly be used for these patients. The reliability and validity of the FIM have previously been well established in the field of rehabilitation 51 , 52 . The FIM consists of two domains: cognitive-FIM and motor-FIM.…”

Cerebral hypoperfusion impairs brain activity and leads to cognitive impairment. Left and right common carotid arteries (CCA) are the major source of cerebral blood supply. It remains unclear whether blood flow in both CCA contributes equally to brain activity. Here, CCA blood flow was evaluated using ultrasonography in 23 patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Resting-state brain activity and cognitive status were also assessed using magnetoencephalography and a cognitive subscale of the Functional Independence Measure, respectively, to explore the relationships between blood flow, functional brain activity, and cognitive status. Our findings indicated that there was an association between blood flow and resting-state brain activity, and between resting-state brain activity and cognitive status. However, blood flow was not significantly associated with cognitive status directly. Furthermore, blood velocity in the right CCA correlated with resting-state brain activity, but not with the resistance index. In contrast, the resistance index in the left CCA correlated with resting-state brain activity, but not with blood velocity. Our findings suggest that hypoperfusion is important in the right CCA, whereas cerebral microcirculation is important in the left CCA for brain activity. Hence, this asymmetry should be considered when designing appropriate therapeutic strategies.

“…[23] The PASS and the FIM are two important measuring functional performance of the patients. [16,18] In a study conducted by Rabadi et al, [24] the ARAT scores were compared with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), another motor functional scale, as measures of upper-extremity motor weakness in stroke patients. ARAT scores were found to be correlated with FMA scores.…”

“…Although there are many scaling methods to evaluate the functional independence, the ability to predict functional independence of these methods is still controversial. [15,16] Functional Independence Scale (FIM) is one of the most commonly used, valid and reliable methods to measure the patients' independence in daily life activities. [17] The Functional Independence Measure is used to assess the functional course of patients and to test the reflection of benefit from rehabilitation to daily living activities.…”

“…The total score is 126. [16] Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS) is another scaling method that evaluates functional independence. [18] The PASS consists of 26 items and four different categories: five functional mobility, three basic daily living activities, 14 instrumental daily living activities-cognitive, and four instrumental daily living activities-physical.…”

Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is one of the most commonly used scoring methods for motor evaluation of upper extremity in stroke. ARAT measures the ability to use and carry large or small objects qualitatively concerning dexterity and proximal muscle strength in both upper extremities. [11] ARAT is a reliable and valid scoring method for stroke patients. ARAT consists of a total of 19 functional materials and four subtests as follows: grasp, grip, pinch, and gross movement. The total normal score is 57. According to the upper extremity functional capacity, test scores are evaluated as no capacity (0 to 10 points) and full capacity (54 to 57 points). [12,14]

The benefits of coordinated rehabilitation in the treatment of stroke patients: A literature review

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The article reveals the features of coordinated rehabilitation – a process that leads to rehabilitating of people with neurological damage that limits their functionality. The purpose of the article is a literature review within the framework of GAJU 066/2022/S, funded by the grant agency of the South Bohemian University of Czech Budejovice, Czech Republic, examining the effectiveness of coordinated rehabilitation in patients recovering from strokes and the use of the standardized Functional Independence Measure (FIM) test to assess the patient’s condition. Data come from current Czech and foreign publications. The EDS multi-finder was used to search for literary sources. Document searches were from 2016-2022 in Czech and English. Search terms include post-stroke rehabilitation, FIM, rehabilitation after stroke, neurorehabilitation, and community based rehabilitation. The start of coordinated rehabilitation of stroke patients should be timely, long-term, comprehensive, and effective, involving a multidisciplinary approach and teamwork. It is essential to develop an individual approach and create a suitable individual plan that allows the use of the FIM test. This is the only way to establish long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation. As the cost of rehabilitation increases, the financial burden on the healthcare system also increases. Caring for a stroke patient also puts various burdens on the family. Successful rehabilitation can reduce the use of costly medicines and materials and decrease the need for nursing care and the term of hospital stay. The social costs of strokes are associated with long-term dependence and a low degree of resocialization. Considering the frequency of strokes and the associated disability, there is an increasing need for coordinated services within coordinated rehabilitation. Gaps in data on coordinated stroke rehabilitation should be filled by providing necessary information about long-term participation in community-based programs.
