Functional Independence and Disability Evaluation in Stroke Patients: Optimal Cutoff Scores for a Pictorial-Based Longshi Scale, Barthel Index, and Modified Rankin Scale

Abstract

The mRS is more precise to determine mild functional disability, whereas BI can provide more specific information on moderate and severe levels in stroke patients. Although LS was a less precise was to determine moderate and severe levels than BI, it is much simpler and more convenient to be applied to a large-scale population.
