Objectives: To evaluate the recovery rates in activities of daily living among patients recovering from acute stroke during stationary rehabilitation on the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of the Clinical Hospital Center Osijek. Study design: Cross-sectional study Participants and methods: The research was conducted in the period from February 1 to April 1 2018 at the Institute for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of the Osijek Clinical Hospital Center and included 29 respondents. By applying Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) and Barthel Index (index of daily life activities), the degree of damage in daily life activities at the beginning of rehabilitation was evaluated for all the patients, and the recovery of these activities at the end of the 10 or 21-day rehabilitation treatment at the Institute was measured. Results: Significantly higher values of overall functional autonomy after rehabilitation are noted, compared to values before rehabilitation in all respondents. The overall Barthel index is significantly higher after rehabilitation, with the exception of bladder and bowel control domain. Older respondents have lower values of FIM and BI before rehabilitation and smaller increase in these values at the end of rehabilitation. Significantly reduced functionalities before and after rehabilitation are noted in women compared to men. Those suffering from hemorrhagic stroke have lower values of FIM and BI before rehabilitation as well as lower increase in these values after rehabilitation. There was no significant difference in the improvement of the functional independence of the examinees due to the side of the lesion. Conclusion: After rehabilitation there is an improvement in daily life activities in all patients. Greater progress after rehabilitation has been observed in younger patients, men and those with ischemic stroke.
