“…Few patients were rated as independent for sphincter control. This may be due to the nature of the sphincter control items in the FIM , Grimby et al 1996. Our additional description of the frequencies of incontinence showed that the percentages of patients having bladder or bowel accidents were comparable to the percentages of patients having a score below 6 on the FIM sphincter control items.…”

Knowledge about the level of functional independence that can be expected in adulthood might support decisions on the treatment of newborn infants with spina bifida. This study determined functional independence among young adults with spina bifida and its relationships with pathological characteristics known from birth (hydrocephalus and level of lesion). Data were collected from medical records and by physical examination. Functional independence was assessed on six domains (self-care, sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition) using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Participants were 165 patients with spina bifida (69 males, 96 females; age range 16 to 25y, mean 20y 9mo [SD 2.9]; 117 with hydrocephalus). Patients without hydrocephalus were independent for all FIM domains except sphincter control, as were patients with hydrocephalus with a lesion level below L2. Most patients with hydrocephalus and a lesion at L2 or above were dependent as regards sphincter control (98%), locomotion (79%), and self-care (54%), and quite a few needed support in transfers (38%), social cognition (29%), and communication (15%).

“…The LiSat-11 was recently applied in two samples of adults with CP. 5,16 In contrast to the BSW ⁄ A, the LiSat-11 is not a psychological questionnaire and reflects satisfaction with external factors, such as participation in everyday life, and health-related factors, such as activities of daily living and somatic health. Using the LiSat-11 we compared our total sample and our subgroup without intellectual disabilities with a Swedish clinical sample of adults with CP or spina bifida and with a large Swedish reference sample from the literature.…”

The aim of this study was to explore subjective well‐being and satisfaction with life in general and with participation, activities, and health, in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). A randomized sample of 50 individuals was drawn from a sample of 465 previous outpatients of a regional social paediatric centre in southern Germany. A psychological measure for well‐being (Bern Questionnaire on Subjective Well‐Being, adult form [BSW/A]) and a sociomedical measure (Life Satisfaction Checklist [LiSat‐11]) were applied as outcome measures. Twenty‐five individuals from 35 responders (nine males, 16 females; mean age 28y, SD 2y 7mo, range 25–33y) were evaluated completely. Nineteen participants had bilateral and six had unilateral spastic types of CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I n=5, II n=5, III n=5, IV n=8, and V n=2). Eighteen individuals had no or only minor intellectual disabilities. Subjective well‐being and general satisfaction with life were not impaired in adults with CP. Joy of life (a subscale of the BSW/A) was even increased. Satisfaction with some areas of participation was reduced compared with a reference and clinical samples from Sweden. In conclusion, subjective well‐being and general satisfaction with life are not decreased in adults with CP. The different levels of satisfaction with areas of participation in German and Swedish individuals with CP may be explained by differences of social inclusion.
