 The functional status of the stroke survivors was
measured by their independence in activities of daily
living using the Barthel Index (BI). The total possible score
is 20. A higher score indicates a better performance in
activities of daily living. The mean BI score was 13.54
(SD=5.92). The composite score from the BI was recoded
according to the Wade classification (Wade and Hewer,
1987). There were five categories including: 20

mildly disabled, 10 to 14 representing moderately
disabled, 5 to 9 representing severely disabled and 0 to 4
representing very severely disabled. As shown in Table

that these subjects were independent in activities of daily
living. Thirty-two percent of the subjects scored between

 The functional status of the stroke survivors was
measured by their independence in activities of
daily living using the Barthel Index (BI). The total
possible score is 20. A higher score indicates a
better performance in activities of daily living. The
mean BI score was 13.54 (SD=5.92). The
composite score from the BI was recoded according
to the Wade classification (Wade and Hewer, 1987).
There were five categories including: 20 representing full
independence, 15 to 19 representing mildly disabled, 10 to
14 representing moderately disabled, 5 to 9 representing
severely disabled and 0 to 4 representing very severely
disabled.
 Highlight 1
 As shown in Table 6.3, 23% of the subjects
had a full score of 20 indicating that these
subjects were independent in activities of
daily living.
 Highlight 2
 Thirty-two percent of the subjects scored
between 15 and 19, which means that
they suffered from mild disability and
required some forms of assistance.
 Implications

 Forty-four per cent of the subjects

had BI score of 14 or less, which
means that these subjects required
considerable help or full assistance
from others in activities of daily
living.
