Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish a correlation between the physical compositions of stroke patients and their activities of daily living. The participants in this study included 33 hemiplegic stroke patients. The physical composition measurements included fat-free mass, body fat mass, percentage of body fat, and the segmental muscle mass of the participants. The difference in muscle mass between the paralyzed and non-paralyzed sides of the body was calculated through the analysis in stroke. The activities of daily living were evaluated by scoring the respondents’ basic activities of daily living using the modified Barthel index (MBI) scale. The correlation between the MBI score and the muscle mass of both limbs was not significant. Although not statistically significant, the MBI score and body fat percentage showed a slight negative correlation. The conclusion of this study is that the relationship between the physical composition of stroke patients and activities of daily living cannot be clearly defined.
