Definition

The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale (SS-QOL) were developed in the United States to measure the quality of life of the stroke population. These two patient-centered outcome measures are the most comprehensive stroke-specific scales to be used for measuring health-related well-being of individuals recovering from stroke (Huang et al. 2013; Salter et al. 2008) and are also frequently used in stroke rehabilitation research studies (Kissela 2006; Lin et al. 2009a, b, 2010, 2011; Williams et al. 1999).

Description

Brief Historical Review for SIS 3.0 and SS-QOL

The SIS 3.0 was developed from the perspectives of patients as well as their caregivers to measure QOL (Duncan et al. 1999a, 2003). The current SIS 3.0 was created from the SIS 2.0 by removing some items that misfit the construct (Duncan et al. 2003). The original SIS was developed from unpublished data from Duncan et al. in 1999 (Duncan et al. 1999a). The...
