DEF

A scale that is used to measure a patient’s progress to function independently while in rehabilitative care.

CONT

A FIM [functional independence measure] score is typically collected within 72 hours after admission to the rehabilitation unit, within 72 hours before discharge, and between 80 to 180 days after discharge. ... The FIM score ranges from 1 to 7, with 1 (Total Assistance) being the worst possible score and 7 (Complete Independence) being the best possible score.

CONT

... the Features-Resource Trade-Off Game(Features Game) of functional recovery... compares preferences for recovery that foster independent living among 18 functional status items that make up the functional independence measure used in rehabilitative care. These status items include both motor skills(eating, grooming, bathing, dressing, bladder management, walking/wheelchair mobility) and cognitive skills(comprehension, expression, social interaction, problem solving, memory). The game's 18 functions are rated in seven levels ranging from complete dependence on assistance to total independence.
