RESUMO

Subarachnoid hemorrhage results in critical motor and cognitive impairment which leads to dysfunctions causing a negative impact in quality of life. The functional independence measure (FIM) scale is the most widely accepted functional assessment measure in use in the rehabilitation community. The aim of this study was to describe the rehabilitation outcome after a surgical aneurysm occlusion realized in patients admitted in the Clinical Hospital of Campinas State University ? UNICAMP. Patients were submitted to the Hunt-Hess and Fisher assessment scales after admission in to the hospital; to the FIM after surgery; and to FIM and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after hospital discharge. The days in the hospital were counted, patients had physical therapy twice a day and the injured arteries were identified. Thirteen patients, 12 woman?s (92,31%) with aneurysm predominant in middle cerebral artery (53,85%) were evaluated. The mean age was 51, 62 (DP 13,04) years old. The mean FIM rate, between the admission and the discharge period, was 34,85 (DP 20,85), with average of 5-69 points (p<0,001). There was non significant correlation between the FIM, Hunt-Hess, Fisher and GOS. The subarachnoid hemorrhage is a catastrophic neurologic event that results in motor and cognitive impairment. The FIM could have an important role in predict the neurorehabilitation outcome in acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
