TLDR
The extended ADL scale could be used as a postal questionnaire to assist in the follow-up of patients discharged home after a stroke and can be monitored and patients can also be compared on the basis of their scale score.Abstract:
A ranked assessment of daily living (ADL) scale has been developed to assess activities which may be important to stroke patients who have been discharged home. A questionnaire incorporating 22 ADL activities in four sections was sent by post to 80 consecutively registered stroke patients. Gutmann scaling was carried out on the returned questionnaires, producing acceptable coefficients of reproducibility and scalability. The revised questionnaire was then sent to 20 stroke patients. The same patients were sent an identical questionnaire two weeks later. The overall level of agreement between the two assessments was satisfactory. The extended ADL scale could therefore be used as a postal questionnaire to assist in the follow-up of patients discharged home after a stroke. Due to the scaling properties of the assessment, patient's progress can be monitored and patients can also be compared on the basis of their scale score.read more

TL;DR: The EADL shows promise for the assessment of disability in MS, but the range of items needs to be extended and further evaluation of the scale seems warranted.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Social activities after stroke: Measurement and natural history using the Frenchay Activities Index
TL;DR: A method of assessing general activities of stroke patients is described: the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), a scale comprising 15 individual activities summed to give an overall score from 0 (low) to 45 (high), to establish the validity and reliability of the index.

The significance of intensity of rehabilitation of stroke--a controlled trial.
TL;DR: In this article, the functional recovery of stroke, measured by ADL and motor function was significantly better in the intensive treatment group compared to the normal treatment group, and there was no difference in institutionalization or incidence of death between the groups.
