Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Little is known about the potential role of environmental factors in the handicap creation process following a stroke. The objective of this study was to explore the presence of a relationship between environmental factors and the occurrence of handicap following a stroke, taking into consideration age and the level of impairments and disabilities. METHODS:This is a cross-sectional study where data were collected 6 months after discharge from an intensive functional rehabilitation unit. A convenience sample of 51 participants was recruited at the time of their admission to the rehabilitation unit for rehabilitation post-stroke. Perceived influence of environmental factors was measured using the Measure of the Quality of the Environment (MQE). Handicap situations were measured with the Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H). Impairments and disabilities comprised six domains (cognition, perception. depression, communication, sensorimotor function and comorbidity) assessed using a variety of measuring tools from which a composite score was derived. RESULTS:Fifty-one participants aged 40-97 years old took part in this study. Perceived obstacles in the environment, together with age and the level of impairments and disabilities, explained 58.9% of the variation in the LIFE-H (handicap level). Taken alone, the perceived obstacles (total score) explained 6.2%. The perceived facilitators (total score) in the environment were not found to be related to the presence of handicap situations. CONCLUSION:Increased level of impairments and disabilities. advanced age and perceived barriers in the physical and social environment contribute to the handicap creation process following a stroke.
