“…The validity and reliability of telephone administration of the mFIM with people with SCI has been established. 12 Participation restrictions were assessed using the community integration measure (CIM), a 10-item, client-centred measure that assesses words of participants with respect to personal attitudes, perceptions and beliefs regarding their connection with their community. A single summary score (between 10 and 50) is derived.…”

Study design: Prospective cross-sectional survey. Objectives: To compare quality of life (QOL) for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their ablebodied peers and to investigate the relationship between QOL and disability (impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions) across the lifespan, for people with SCI. Setting: A community outreach service for people with SCI in Queensland, Australia. Methods: A random sample of 270 individuals who sustained SCI during the past 60 years was surveyed using a guided telephone interview format. The sample was drawn from the archival records of a statewide rehabilitation service. QOL was measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument-Bref, impairment was measured according to the American Spinal Injury Association classification and the Secondary Condition Surveillance Instrument, activity limitations using the motor subscale of the Functional Independence Measure and participation restrictions using the Community Integration Measure. Lifespan was considered in terms of age and time since injury. Correlation and regression analyses were employed to determine the relationship between QOL and components of disability across the lifespan. Results: QOL was significantly poorer for people with SCI compared to the Australian norm. It was found to be associated with secondary impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions but not with neurological level, age or time since injury. The single most important predictor of QOL was secondary impairments whereas the second most important predictor was participation. Conclusion: To optimize QOL across the lifespan, rehabilitation services must maintain their focus on functional attainment and minimizing secondary conditions, although at the same time enabling participation.

“…Patients want to become self-aware and take responsibility for problem solving [18] and self-assessment of function will help them in this direction. The fairly recently developed FIM selfreport measure provides a measure of perceived functional independence [56]. Although SCIM III, as used here, is not a new self-reported measure but an adaptation of a current measure, it is the first attempt to present the person's living with SCI perspective while using a SCI-specific measure.…”

Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the Spinal Cord Injury Measure version III (SCIM III) into Greek (GR-SCIM III). To conduct initial testing of psychometric properties of both measures by self-report. Method: Forward-backward translation was conducted to produce the GR-SCIM III. Participants completed the English or Greek versions in [2008][2009]. Both versions were examined for multidimensionality, internal consistency and concurrent/criterion validity with the EQ-5D. Results: Forty-five Greek adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) (23 males), mean age 61 (SD17) years; mean time since injury 11 (SD9) years, completed the GR-SCIM III. One hundred and seventy four English-speaking adults with SCI (111 males), mean age 47 (SD12) years; mean time since injury 12 (SD11) years, completed the SCIM III. Unidimensionality was confirmed for both versions. Internal consistency was acceptable (a ¼ 0.78 for both). Validity was strong for the ''self-care'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.78, SCIM III r ¼ À0.75) and moderate for the ''mobility'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.58, SCIM III r ¼ À0.45). Conclusions: This has been the first function scale translated and validated in Greek for people with SCI. Both the GR-SCIM III and SCIM III are reliable for use by self-report. More studies are needed to further examine their psychometric properties and compare with observation or interview. ä Implications for RehabilitationThe Greek version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure version III (SCIM) is valid and reliable for self-report. Further testing is needed to assess psychometric qualities not assessed in the present study. Researchers and therapists in Greece can use a specific measure to assess functional independence in people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Consideration needs to be given to the participants' type of injury, which may affect the results of SCIM III.

“…12 FIM presents valid and reliable test in the estimation of aggregated changes in functional status that appears in the defined period of the study evaluation. [13][14][15] It is composed of 18 categories that are scaled from 1-7 each. 13 For the estimation of comorbidity of participants we used Cumulative Illness rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G), and findings were presented as severity index (SI), where SI was calculated as total CIRS-G score divided by the number of endorsed categories.…”

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate motor functional status measured by motor Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) test in population above 65 years of age after the hip fracture. Material and Methods:We evaluated 203 patients after hip fracture by mFIM test on 3 occasions: at admission (Period-1), at discharge (Period-2) and 3 months after discharge (Period-3); 3 age groups: Group 65-74 , Group 75-84 and Group 85-up and 2 groups concerning Severity Index (SI): group 0-1.99 (SI 1 ) and group ≥ 2 (SI 2 ). results: In same SI group there is significant increase in mFIM values for Period-2 and Period-3 for both genders and in first two age groups, while for those above 85 years of age with higher SI we found non-significant change in mFIM values between discharge and 3 months post discharge period. Discussion: The most significant improvement is obtained for women in first and third age groups and with higher SI. conclusion: Gender is not significant predictor for motor functional recovery measured by mFIM test in patients with hip fracture, although the admittance mFIM is a good indicator for mFIM capacity recovery in women of certain age groups (first and third age groups conclusão: O género não constitui um factor preditivo significativo da recuperação da independência funcional medida através da aplicação da escala MIF em doentes com fractura da anca, embora a MIF no momento da admissão seja um bom indicador de recuperação funcional em doentes do sexo feminino em certos grupos etários (primeiro e terceiro grupos etários).
