Brief summary
The investigators combined the mRS questionnaire and BI questionnaire and then developed a telephone interview form as a simple questionnaire with internal rules. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the telephone interview form when compared with face-to-face assessment in clinically stable patients with stroke.
Interventions
Telephone Interview Form is an original simple questionnaire developed based on the combination of Barthel Index questionnaire and simplified modified Rankin Scale questionnaire with internal rules.
