ABSTRACT
Background:
The inability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL) is prevalent in elderly people and it is associated with hypertension and stroke.Aim:
To evaluate ADLs using the T-ADLQ in hypertensive patients with minor stroke. Subjects andMethods:
T-ADLQ, Cognitive tests (Minimental and Addenbrooke), and Hamilton depression test were applied to 100 hypertensive ambulatory patients (55 without symptomatic stroke and 45 with ischemic stroke, Rankin ≤ 2).Results:
In stroke patients the ability to perform ADL was significantly reduced compared with hypertensive patients without stroke. Cognitive dysfunction and depressive symptoms were associated with a lower ADL performance.Conclusions:
The T-ADLQ is useful to evaluate ADL in hypertensive ambulatory patients with ischemic stroke.
