Abstract:
The most frequent difficulties that cancer patients face are physical problems, thus, evaluating the functional level of the patient is the cornerstone of rehabilitation. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) measures self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion, communication, and social cognition.
