Evaluation is made based on the scores obtained separately for each subscale. The highest score that can be obtained for each question of the scale, 100, indicates good health status and increased health-related quality of life; The lowest score, 0, indicates poor health status and decreased health-related quality of life. The total score of the sub-dimensions is obtained by dividing the sum of the corresponding scores for each question of the scale items by the number of items.
Measured: up to 7 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Functional Independence Scale
It determines the individual's degree of independence in physical and cognitive activities. The Functional Independence Scale consists of 18 items and measures in 2 areas: physical (motor) and cognitive.While physical function has 13 items, cognitive function domain has 5 items. Each item is evaluated between 1 and 7 points, with 1 point indicating complete dependence and 7 points indicating complete independence.
