Determining the functional/health status of stroke survivors poses special difficulties because of cognitive impairments that frequently result from stroke. A possible means of assessing the status of stroke survivors who are cognitively impaired is getting proxy responses from a family member or other caregiver. Proxy agreement was evaluated for two measures of functional/health status, the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) and the Health Status Questionnaire (HSQ), and a measure of disability, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
