Summary

The present study examined stroke patients who applied to occupational therapy units within the framework of ICF, following the rehabilitation process, and defining frequently used measurements in terms of ICF codes

Detailed description

The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) is a standardized method frequently used by health professionals. This follow-up study was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The present study examined stroke patients who applied to occupational therapy units within the framework of ICF, following the rehabilitation process, and defining frequently used measurements in terms of ICF codes. Participants were recruited from the patients who applied to the Occupational Therapy Clinic of Etlik City Hospital. Participants who agreed to participate in the study signed an informed consent form. First, the scales were defined within the framework of ICF. Individuals who had a stroke and were hospitalized in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic of Etlik City Hospital and included in the study were evaluated using ICF parameters within the first 3 days of their hospitalization. All individuals were given a holistic rehabilitation program. Individuals who received inpatient treatment and stayed in the hospital for one month were re-evaluated. Other individuals who were not included in the study benefited from traditional inpatient treatment services. Upon evaluating the rehabilitation service within the framework of ICF, significant changes were observed in body functions, activity, and participation. It is recommended that ICF be used by occupational therapists and other health professionals, that the scales be associated with ICF codes, and that holistic rehabilitation services be developed.
