The FIM score at admission ranged between 54-71 (40%), at discharged ranged between 72-89 (46,7%), and after one month follow-up ranged between 72-89 (48,3%). There were significant change at p=0,001 between FIM Score at discharged and admission and also between FIM score after one month follow-up and discharged. Conclusion: All patients’ FIM scores were improved. There was a correlation between patient’s length of stay and FIM score at admission and also the ability of physical activity.
