Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Measure (STREAM)

The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Measure (STREAM) is a scale with scores ranging from 0 to 70, which is used to provide an understanding of the levels of movement and quality of hemiplegic patients.

Time frame: Patients were evaluated immediately before rehabilitation, and immediately after rehabilitation service, which lasted 4-10 days on average.

Secondary Outcomes

The Functional Independent Measurement (FIM)

The Functional Independent Measurement (FIM) is 18-item scale and is scored from 18 (total assistance in all areas) to 126 (complete independence). FIM consists of 13 motor (or physical) and 5 social-cognitive items, assessing self care, sphincter control, transfer, locomotion, communication, social interaction, and cognition. The results from the first 13 items (FIM motor) are summed to develop a motor score with a range of 13 to 91, and these items were used in this study.

Time frame: Patients were evaluated immediately before rehabilitation, and immediately after rehabilitation service, which lasted 4-10 days on average.

Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a scale with scores ranging from 0 to 30, which allows the cognitive levels to be determined by examining the patient's orientation, recording memory, attention and calculation, recall, and language parameters. The score of 0 indicates that the patient has no cognitive functions, and the score of 30 indicates that the patient has a high level of cognitive functions.

Time frame: Patients were evaluated immediately before rehabilitation, and immediately after rehabilitation service, which lasted 4-10 days on average.
