Author(s): Takashi KimuraTakashi Kimura
Objective: To determine motor Functional Independence Measure items and Functional Independence Measure levels that contribute to motor Functional Independence Measure gain after stroke.
Methods: This was a multicentre cross-sectional study including a total of 5,454 stroke patients who were registered in the Japan Rehabilitation Database. All participants were selected based on age, days from onset to admission, length of ward stay, and motor Functional Independence Measure items upon admission. Participants were divided into three subgroups based on the motor Functional Independence Measure items upon admission, and then further classified into non-improving and improving subgroups based on the mean of motor Functional Independence Measure gain. Multiple logistic regression and contribution analyses were used to analyse variables that .. View More»
