problem 1 #

A clinician was interested in exploring functionality in patients following a stroke rehabilitation program. Participants were recruited through the rehabilitation unit at Providence Care Hospital. Functional status was evaluated at baseline (immediately following stroke), and 8 weeks later. Patients' functional outcomes were rated on the following 5-point scale: 1 - poor, 2- fair, 3 - moderate, 4 -good, 5 - excellent. The clinician wants to know whether patients improved their functioning over the 8-week period
