Development and Validation of an ADL-score Based on FIM and EBI

Completed

• Conditions: Medical Rehabilitation; Assessment; Observational Study; Functional Independence; ICF; Neurologic Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT03233789
• Lead Sponsor: Martin Brünger

Brief Summary

The aim of this mixed-methods-study is to develop and validate an algorithm to transform FIM (Functional Independence Measure) and EBI (Extended Barthel Index) into an ADL score (Activities of Daily Life) that can be used to compare outcome quality of rehabilitation clinics.

The following steps are performed:

1. Development of an ADL-algorithms by experts

2. Validation of the ADL-algorithms in a quantitative approach

3. Finalization of the ADL-algorithms by experts based on study results
