What It Measures

The Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) is a measure of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) for use with patients recovering from stroke. The FAI assesses a broad range of activities associated with everyday life. The benefit of the FAI is that while activities of daily living scales tend to focus on issues related to self-care and mobility (Holbrook & Skilbeck, 1983), the FAI provides a broader measurement of actual activities patients have undertaken in the recent past (Wade, Legh-Smith, & Langton, 1985).
