Fina Score Indication

The Fina score is not directly mentioned in the provided studies. However, based on the context, it appears that the user is referring to the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score.

Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Score

  • The FIM score is a scale used to evaluate functional status during rehabilitation 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • It combines both motor and cognitive parameters to assess a patient's level of required assistance in performing activities of daily living (ADL) 2.
  • The FIM score can be used to predict survival in geriatric trauma patients 2.
  • It can also be used to define the functional status of older adults upon rehabilitation completion following stroke or hip fracture 1, 3.
  • The FIM score has been shown to be a simple, practical, and efficient measure of function in first-stroke patients on admission for rehabilitation 4.

Interpretation of FIM Score

  • A higher FIM score indicates a higher level of functional independence 1, 2, 3.
  • A total FIM score of 100 or less can differentiate between mildly dependent and severely dependent older adults 1.
  • A total FIM score of 85 or less can represent severely dependent older adults 3.
  • The FIM score can be used to determine gain in functional independence during rehabilitation 4.
