ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine the functioning profile of people with neurological disorders who access rehabilitation services through ClinFIT Generic-30.METHODS:
The functioning profile of people with neurological disorders accessing rehabilitation services was examined using the ClinFIT Generic-30, and the results compared with existing core set (neurological health conditions acute and post-acute,stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury,Spinal Cord Injury).RESULTS:
Data for 364 people were analysed. The 10 most commonly impaired ICF categories included 3 for Body Functions (exercise tolerance functions (b455), mobility of joint functions (b710), and muscle power functions (b730)) and 7 for Activities and Participation (carrying out daily routine (d230), handling stress and other psychological demands (d240), changing basic body position (d410), maintaining a body position (d415), transferring oneself (d420), walking (d450), and moving around (d455)), while the ICF categories that were severely impaired (ICF qualifiers 3 and 4) in more than 30% of the study cohort were muscle power functions (b730), carrying out daily routine (d230), walking (d450), moving around (d455), doing housework (d640), and assisting others (d660).DISCUSSION:
The current study data suggests that ClinFIT Generic-30 appears to effectively identify impairments and/or restrictions, as perceived by individuals affected by selected health conditions.CONCLUSION:
ClinFIT Generic-30 is a tool that can be used to characterize functioning profile in people with different neurological disorders and to collect important information not addressed by the disease-specific core sets (neurological health conditions acute and post-acute,stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury,Spinal Cord Injury).
