A method of assessing general (i.e. other than personal care) activities of stroke patients is described: the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), a scale comprising 15 individual activities summed to give an overall score from 0 (low) to 45 (high). Data from 976 patients with acute stroke were analysed to establish the validity and reliability of the index, and to give information on the level of activities seen before stroke, at 6 months and 1 year post-stroke. Factors related to a lower overall score included loss of functional (ADL) ability, more depression, a lower IQ and, at 1 year, being female.
本文描述了一种评估中风患者日常（即非个人护理）活动的方法：Frenchay活动指数（FAI），这是一个包含15项个体活动的量表，各项得分相加得出总分，范围从0（低）到45（高）。对976例急性中风患者的数据进行分析，以确定该指数的有效性和可靠性，并提供中风前、中风后6个月和1年时的活动水平信息。与较低总分相关的因素包括功能（日常生活活动）能力丧失、更多抑郁、较低智商，以及在1年时为女性。
