Working respondents functional independence according FIM and Barthel index was higher (FIM was 104,4 ±17,7 score, Barthel index was 84,8 ±26,40 score (p<0,05)) compared with not working respondents (FIM was 84,4 ±26,40 score, Barthel index was 70 ±20,9 score (p<0,05). All working respondents live in a town and 34(66,2%) of them independently driving a car, according ICF persons after SCI indicate that it is medium and low barrier. Assessment of person’s after SCI according ICF activities and participations (d420, d4600, d4602) were indicated as a little barrier. The analyses of higher results of functional independence of working persons after SCI indicate their higher functional independence level and wider social and employment opportunities. The correlation analysis showed strong significant correlation between general scores of Barthel Index and ICF components results (eating, dressing, transferring, bathing, personal hygiene (p<0,05). Similar strong correlations were found between general scores of FIM and ICF components results: transferring, bathing, dressing, toileting, using wheelchair (p<0,05). ICF provides a comprehensive assessment of persons after SCI body functions, activities and participation, environmental factors, which influenced people after SCI social, working activities and employment possibilities. By using a validated ICF Core Set for SCI to assess of the person‘s after SCI condition could provide more detailed information about a person’s functioning, social and working participations possibilities between individuals with similar functional level after SCI. |
