Objectives: This study was to investigate using FIM(functional independence measure) in 70patients with stroke and to evaluate prognosis.
Methods : The subjects of this study were 70 patients who were admitted to the Dong-Eui oriental hospital within 7days after stroke. Improving rate were measured by using the FIM(at admission, after 2week and 4week). Each patients was diagnosed with sasang constitutional analysis(QSCC ll), Brain-CT, MRI scan and clinical observation.
Results : There were significant results statistically between FIM(degree of improvement) and sex, age, side of hemiparesis, and hypertension. While diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, and severity of early state were not significant meaning statistically.
Conclusions : Sex, age, side of hemiparesis, and hypertension were relevant factors in predicting the functional outcome in the patients with stroke. I thought that the meaning of man-left and woman-right(男左女右) is not severity of early state but degree of improvement.
