Primary | Recover basal functional capacity | Changes in the number of Activities of daily living (ADLs) that the patients could perform independently. The six basic ADLs include: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and eating. For each ADL, a score of 0 is assigned for dependence and 1 for independence. A summary scale is constructed by summing the individual ADLs (range of 0-6). Recovery is defined as performance that is at least as good at discharge or 3-months postdischarge as it was at baseline. | During hospital stay, from admission (first evaluation) until hospital discharge (second evaluation, and 3-months postdischarge (last evaluation). | |
Secondary | Ability to walk independently | Changes in Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC) scale as one of five functional levels of ambulation (range of 0-4). A score of 0 is assigned if the patient cannot walk, one if the patient requires continuous manual contact to support the body, 2 for light or intermittent manual contact to assist balance, 3 for independent but supervised ambulation, and 4 for independent ambulation on level surfaces or stairs. Recovery is defined as performance that is at least as good at discharge or 3-months postdischarge as it was at baseline. | During hospital stay, from admission (first evaluation) until hospital discharge (second evaluation, and 3-months postdischarge (last evaluation). |
