Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Objectives To (1) assess the effectiveness of home- and community-based rehabilitation (HCBR) in a large cohort of individuals with disabilities secondary to cerebrovascular accident (CVA); and (2) evaluate the responsiveness to treatment of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) to changes resulting from HCBR in this patient group. Design Retrospective analysis of program evaluation data for treatment completers and noncompleters. Setting HCBR conducted in 7 geographically distinct U.S. cities. Participants Individuals with CVA (n=738) who completed the prescribed course of rehabilitation (completed course of treatment [CCT]) compared with 150 individuals who were precipitously discharged (PD) before program completion. Intervention HCBR delivered by certified professional staff on an individualized basis. Main Outcome Measures Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) completed by professional consensus on admission and at discharge. Results With the use of analysis of covariance, MPAI-4 total scores at discharge for CCT participants were compared with those of PD participants, with admission MPAI-4, age, length of stay, and time since event as covariates. CCT participants showed greater improvement than PD participants (F=99.48, P |
