Changes in the higher-level functional capacities for modern daily living in community-dwelling stroke survivors: A preliminary case series

Abstract

Along with the development of modern technology, the variety of higher-level activities of daily living has steadily expanded. However, no reports have examined the capacities for the higher-level activities in stroke survivors. Moreover, the relationship between these capacities and executive functions has not been reported. This preliminary study longitudinally measured changes in the capacities for high-level activities of modern daily living in community-dwelling stroke survivors. In addition, we examined whether changes in these capacities were correlated with executive functions. The results showed no significant reduction in the capacities for high-level activities of modern daily living at 1 year after stroke. Significant improvements were observed in one aspect of executive functions: planning. The changes in the capacities for higher-level activities of modern daily living were significantly correlated with executive function. The results suggest that, in stroke survivors, (a) it is likely feasible to maintain the capacities for higher-level activities of modern daily living, and (b) these capacities are related to executive functions.

Keywords: activities of daily living (ADL); capacities for modern daily living; community-dwelling; instrument activities of daily living (IADL); longitudinal case series; stroke.
