Short-Term Changes in and Predictors of Participation of Older Adults After Stroke Following Acute Care or Rehabilitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stroke can lead to restrictions in participation in daily activities and social roles. Although considered an important rehabilitation outcome, little is known about participation after stroke and its predictors, and about the differences associated with the types of services provided following stroke. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were 1) to follow and compare changes in participation of older adults discharged home after stroke from acute care or postacute rehabilitation, and 2) to identify the best predictors of participation after stroke from physical, cognitive, perceptual, and psychological ability measures taken shortly after discharge. METHODS: Level of participation in daily activities and social roles of 197 older adults who had a stroke was evaluated at 2 to 3 weeks (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3) after being discharged home from acute care (n = 86) or rehabilitation (n = 111). Physical, cognitive, perceptual, and psychological abilities were assessed at T1. RESULTS: A significant increase in participation was found over time for both groups, mainly in the first 3 months. The best predictors of participation differed between the groups and between the daily activities and social roles domains. Walking and acceptance of the stroke or fewer depressive symptoms were the best predictors of the level of participation after stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Participation was not optimal at discharge because it continued to increase after the return home. The importance of psychological factors in participation after stroke is undeniable. Many predictors are amenable to interventions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
