“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is defined as "a cerebrovascular disease with clinical signs of focal disorders of brain function, that develops rapidly, with symptoms lasting 24 h or more or leading to death, with no other apparent cause than a vascular origin" [1].…”

“…According to data from Iberictus, there is an annual incidence of 187 per 100,000 inhabitants [4], although according to other studies based on INE data the annual stroke incidence is 252 per 100,000 inhabitants. Likewise, in Spain it is considered the first cause of disability in adulthood and the second of dementia, seriously impacting the lives of patients and families and causing a significant health and social burden [1,5].…”

“…Stroke is a multifactorial disorder associated with a series of risk factors which can be classified into modifiable (such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, lack of physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking) and non-modifiable (such as age, sex, race, ethnic group or genotype before stroke) risk factors [1,6,7]. It is important to add that, after age, hypertension is the most associated factor.…”

(1) Background: loss of quality of life (QoL) and functional independence are two of the most common consequences of suffering a stroke. The main objective of this research is to study which factors are the greatest determinants of functional capacity and QoL a month after suffering a stroke so that they can be considered in early interventions. (2) Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted which sample consisted of 81 people who had previously suffered a stroke. The study population was recruited at the time of discharge from the Neurology Service and Stroke Unit of the hospitals of Burgos and Córdoba, Spain, through a consecutive sampling. Data were collected one month after participants experienced a stroke, and the main study variables were quality of life, measured with the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Measure (NEWSQOL), and functional independence, measured with the Functional Independence Measure-Functional Assessment Measure (FIM-FAM). (3) Results: the factors associated with a worse QoL and functional capacity one month after having suffered a stroke were living in a different dwelling than the usual flat or house (p < 0.05), a worse cognitive capacity (p < 0.001) and a worse functional capacity of the affected upper limb (p < 0.001). A higher age was related to a worse functional capacity one month after suffering a stroke (p = 0.048). (4) Conclusions: the type of dwelling, age, cognitive ability and functional capacity of the affected upper limb are determining aspects in functional independence and QoL during the first weeks after a stroke.

“…Stroke is considered one of the main causes of disability in many Western countries, with 13.7 million new cases every year worldwide [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], in addition to being one of the leading causes of death worldwide [ 1 ]. In Spain, the annual incidence rate is 252 per 100,000 inhabitants according to INE (National Statistics Institute) data, representing, therefore, the leading cause of disability in adulthood and the third leading cause of death as of 2020 [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. This disability has great impacts at all levels for the person and the family, including the social, economic and health levels [ 4 , 6 ].…”

This disability has great impacts at all levels for the person and the family, including the social, economic and health levels [ 4 , 6 ]. Likewise, this chronic disability has a serious impact on the individual’s daily life, which includes motor impairment in the upper limbs in up to 60% of cases [ 2 , 7 ].…”

Background: The validation of assessment instruments is of great importance when they are applied in clinical and healthcare settings, since their safe and reliable use is essential for the application of appropriate and high-quality treatments. The motor activity log (MAL-30) is an instrument widely used by professionals in the clinic, which has been validated in different countries, languages and populations. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the MAL-30 scale for post-stroke patients in a Spanish sample. Methods: For this purpose, internal consistency tests were carried out using Cronbach’s alpha, item–item and item–total correlations, and a half-and-half test for reliability. For the validation, criterion validity tests were performed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale as the gold standard, and the convergent validity tests were carried out by correlation with the action research arm test (ARAT), box and block test (BBT), functional independence measure (FIM)–functional assessment measure (FAM), Lawton and Brody index and stroke quality of life scale (ECVI-38). Results: The results showed good internal consistency, as well as a good criterion and convergent validity. Conclusions: The MAL-30 instrument can be considered a valid and reliable tool for assessing the quantity and quality of the use of the affected upper limb in the performance of the activities of daily living and the instrumental activities of daily living after stroke in a Spanish sample.
