Stroke Rehabilitation: AB No: 103: Correlation between Functional Independence, Depression Anxiety and Community Integration in subjects with Post Stroke Hemiparesis

With NO protocols to get you 100% recovered  of course there is going to be depression, anxiety and lack of community integration. And you needed research to tell you that? Can you actually think with those two functioning neurons you seem to have?

 Stroke Rehabilitation: AB No: 103: Correlation between Functional Independence, Depression Anxiety and Community Integration in subjects with Post Stroke Hemiparesis

Purpose: 

To correlate functional independence, depression anxiety and community integration in post stroke hemiparesis. 

 

Relevance: 

In subjects with post stroke due to primary and secondary impairments there may be restriction in functional independency also may have depression anxiety and problem in community participation. Hence it is necessary to find out correlation between functional independence, depression anxiety and community integration.  

 

Participants: 

67 participants from SBB college of physiotherapy, SVP hospital. Post stroke males and females of age 35 to 75 years, both ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke subjects were included and visual auditory deficits subjects were excluded in the study by convenient sampling. 

 

Methodology: Cross sectional study was conducted. After taken a consent, fill up the scales by asking questions to the subjects. Functional independence measures scale, Depression, anxiety and stress scale and Community integration questionnaires.  

 

Analysis: Data analysis for 15 subjects was done using SPSS version 20 and Microsoft excel 2019. For data screened nonparametric Spearman correlation coefficient test was used. Level of significance kept at 5 %. 

 

Results: 

Results show that there is moderate negative correlation between FIM and DASS (r = -0.571, r = < 0.05) moderate positive correlation between FIM and CIQ (r = 0.535, r = 0.05) and moderate negative correlation between DASS and CIQ (r = -0.526,r = < 0.05) in subjects with post stroke hemiparesis.  

 

Conclusion: 

functional independence measures (FIM) is positively correlate with community integration (CIQ) and negatively correlate with depression anxiety (DASS) and depression anxiety (DASS) is negatively correlate with community integration (CIQ).
