Using GG Items to Characterize Self-Care and Mobility Performance in Stroke

Date Presented 04/9/21

This study is the first to compare total and change scores of Section GG to the FIM® for patients with stroke receiving care at inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). The study’s findings show Section GG has relatively similar response patterns in self-care and mobility as the FIM. Our findings help OTs better understand Section GG and associated regional variations for patients with stroke and potential implications in IRF practice.
