OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of concepts of capacity and performance when assessing functioning of stroke survivors, measured with the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). METHODS: During an inpatient interdisciplinary rehabilitation programme for 62 subacute stroke survivors, limitations in speaking, walking, toileting and eating were assessed at admission and discharge with both the FIM and a scale based on the ICF Brief Core Set for stroke.
