| Details | To clarify the cutoff point of the Functional Independence Measure tool for predicting home discharge of patients in convalescent rehabilitation wards.
This retrospective observational study analyzed the data of 91 inpatients with cerebrovascular disease who received rehabilitation treatment at a convalescent rehabilitation ward. In patients with cerebrovascular disease, the Functional Independence Measure motor, cognitive, and total scores were significantly higher in the home-discharged group than in the non-home discharged group. We statistically calculated the Functional Independence Measure motor score cutoff point that can predict home discharge, and the predicted Functional Independence Measure motor score at the time of hospitalization was 53.5–60.0 points. It is important to start rehabilitation at an early stage and increase the amount of training to increase the likelihood of returning home. |
