Application of the ICF Core Set in Stroke Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Sixty patients with stroke were applied a-24-item ICF Core Set for Stroke, Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination(SMMSE), Stroke Impact Scale Version(SIS), Rivermead Mobility Index(RMI) and Home Safety Checklist(HSCL). Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis was used to show the relation between the items of the scales and the ICF Core Set for Stroke items.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Fourty men and twenty women stroke patients were included in this study.The demographics and clinical information of the participants were recorded. A physiotherapist created an ICF Core Set for Stroke for the study. The ICF Core Set for Stroke was used to show the significant relationship with Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination, Stroke Impact Scale Version 3.0, and Rivermead Mobility Index. The duration of the assessment varied between 1 hour and 1.5 hours depending on the participant.

| Stroke patients<br>The created-ICF Core Set for Stroke including activitiy, participation, and environmental factors was used show the meaningfulness of the clinical outcome measurements. The correlation of the created-ICF Core Set for Stroke's items and the outcome measurements were analyzed through Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis. | Other: Outcome Measurements<br>* The 24-item ICF Core Set for Stroke, Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination, Stroke Impact Scale, Rivermead Mobility Index, and Home Safety Checklist were applied to the stroke patients.

-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination | This scale was used to assess the cognitive status of stroke patients. The maximum score of SMMSE is 30 points. | One year | 
| Stroke Impact Scale | This scale was used to assess the quality of life in stroke patients. Each domain is scored from 0 to 100. | One year | 
| Rivermead Mobility Index | This scale was used to assess the mobility levels of stroke patients. The minimum and maximum scores are between 0-15. | One year | 
| Home Safety Checklist | Ten items of this scale were used to assess the home safety status. The HSCL is scored between 0-65. | One year | 
| A 24-item ICF Core Set for Stroke | The core set was created and consisted of 24 ICF items. Each category is scored between 0 - 4 and 8, or 9. | One year |
