Abstract:
Background:Almost half of the population of stroke patient were aged 65 and older. Elderly patients who had a stroke were at risk of loneliness and isolation due to their frailty, inactivity, and difficulty moving.
Objective:This study determined the daily physical functioning among post-stroke older people by sensor monitoring and matching data with the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
Methods:Sixteen home-dwelling post-stroke older people participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Daily functioning was measured using Physical Activity Monitor AM300 sensor devices and FIM. In addition, data on stroke history, fall history activities, blood pressure measurements, walking speed, leg muscle strength, grip strength, balance, pain, fall risk, fear of falling, selfefficacy, and nutritional intake were collected as demographic characteristics of the participants.
Results:Most participants spent their time on at-home activities and very little time on sports activities. These findings were matched with FIM results where only one-fourth of participants had complete independence in locomotion walking, and no participants had complete independence in locomotion stairs.
Conclusions:Sensor monitoring and FIM could be combined to determine daily functioning and the type of rehabilitation needed by post-stroke patients. - Full text:2024122609595206171Research 25-35.pdf
