Sammanfattning
This study aimed to determine whether the Frenchay Activities Index and the Barthel Index assess different factors in stroke patients who survive for more than one year. The Frenchay Activities Index and the Barthel Index were administered via telephone interview. One hundred and twenty-four patients from the community participated in the study. The results support the hypothesis that the Frenchay Activities Index and the Barthel Index assess different factors. They could be combined to assess the entire range of activities of daily living functions in stroke.
