Background & Objectives: Community mobility limitation is one of the significant stroke survivors’ challenges, which makes participation in social situations post-stroke a desired outcome. This prospective cohort study aims to find out the factors that predict community mobility in patients with stroke.
Methods: Sixty-one stroke survivors with a mean age of 58 ± 12.5 were initially assessed at baseline after getting sociodemographic data for stroke severity, trunk control, and fear of falling, resilience, quality of life, and depression. They were followed up after three months to assess community mobility and determine the main predictors of community mobility. The outcome measures used in the study were; Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) for community mobility, Trunk Control Test (TCT) for trunk control, Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) for stroke severity, Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SSQOL) for quality of life, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for depression and anxiety, Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) for resilience, Modified Fallings Efficacy Scale (MFES) for fear of falling.
Results: A significant relation was found between the trunk control test (P < 0.05) and community mobility P = ≤ 0.0001, 95% CI = 0.59 to 0.83, with every 1-point increase in the trunk control having a 71% variance in predicting community mobility. Other findings include significant correlation between RNLI and mRS, r = -0.66, P = ≤ 0.0001, no correlation between RNLI and BRS, r = 0.21.
Conclusion: The TCT is the most significant predictor of community mobility among stroke survivors. We ought to take into consideration including the assessment of the trunk in the routine stroke rehabilitation assessment and including the rehabilitation of the trunk for post stroke patients as a strategy to enhance community mobility |
