A Study on the Correlation Between Cognitive Function and Korean Version of Modified Bathel Index Evaluation of Stroke Patients

This research aims to propose the relationships between the MMSE-K, MoCA-K, LICA, and K-MBI of stroke patients older than 60 and analyze the influence between each factor to investigate the effectiveness of those measures as clinical assessment tools for stroke patients. The research recruited sixteen participants who are hospitalized stroke patients aged over 60 from Y rehabilitation hospital located in Goyang city. As the inclusion crietra, first, the participant must have been diagnosed as the stroke for over six months. Second, the participant required to be able to communicate. Third, the participant had to be older than 60. Fourth, the participant had to be free from the hemi-neglect; fifth, the participant had to understand the purpose of the research and agreed upon participating it. The MoCA-K and K-MBI showed weak correlation with r=.560, and the LICA and K-MBI showed weak correlation with r=.463. However, MMSE-K and K-MBI did not show any correlation. The significance of this research is that it proposed the basis for an active utilization and effectiveness of MMSE-K, MoCA-K, LICA, and K-MBI as the clinical assessment tool for an accurate cognitive level selection and fast comeback to the society through investigating the correlations between the measures.
