About this study

As per preceding commendation, Rivermead Mobility Index will be translated into Urdu language from its English version and adapted culturally in Pakistan. Among Stroke population, Rivermead Mobility Index will be conducted in 50 patients recruited by convenience sampling technique under the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria after signing consents forms. For testing inter-observer reliability and intra-observer reliability of Rivermead Mobility Index, Barthel Index and Functional Independence Measure will be administrated by two observers, on the same day, with a time interval of 2 hours between 1st and 2nd conduction. As for the 3rd conduction, it will be carried out after seven days by the first observer, for intra-observer assessment. Statistical Package of Social Sciences software version 24 has been used for the purpose of data entry and analysis. Internal consistency will be assessed by using an intra-class correlation coefficient. The Rivermead Mobility Index will be evaluated for content validity, construct validity, criterion validity and responsiveness.

Primary outcomes

Rivermead Mobility Index

Time frame: 1st day

The Rivermead Mobility index is a standardized assessment tool to investigate patients work and activity specific physical disability related to work. Rivermead Mobility Index scale have 15 items.
Barthel Index

Time frame: 1st day

The Barthel Index is an ordinal scale that is used to assess performance in daily activities. A higher number reflects better capacity to operate independently upon hospital release.
Functional Independence Measure

Time frame: 1st day

Functional Independence Measure instrument was designed for assessing responsive changes throughout the course of a complete inpatient medical rehabilitation programme. The instrument is used to determine a patient's level of impairment as well as any changes in their condition as a result of rehabilitation or medical treatment. Is an 18-item, seven-level, ordinal scale intended to be sensitive to changes over the course of a comprehensive inpatient medical rehabilitation program.
