Objectives: To explore the rehabilitation goals measured with the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) in patients undergoing acute and subacute stroke rehabilitation. In addition, to assess whether PSFS goals corresponded to impairments and activity limitations, as identified by standardized measures.
Design: Observational study.
Participants: A total of 71 participants undergoing inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
Methods: The PSFS goals were linked to second-level categories in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), using established linking rules. Frequencies of the linked ICF categories were calculated. Frequencies of participants with limitations in walking, activities of daily living (ADL), vision, language, and cognition, were calculated, along with goals in corresponding areas of functioning.
Results: The participants’ goals were linked to 50 second-level ICF categories, comprising areas such as walking and moving, ADL, language, vision, and cognition. The most frequent ICF categories were “Moving around in different locations” (n = 24), “Walking” (n = 23), “Toileting” (n = 16), “Hand and arm use (n = 12) and “Fine hand use (n = 12)”. Of participants with limitations in walking, cognition, and vision, 85%, 10%, and 16%, respectively, had goals in these areas.
Conclusion: Participants’ goals included walking, ADL, language, vision, and cognition. Few with impairments in cognition or vision had goals in these corresponding areas on the PSFS.
