Abstract

Forty cases of vertebral compression fractures were classified by degree of dementia and evaluated in two groups. The non-dementia group obtained higher scores of functional independence measure (FIM) than the dementia group. The non-dementia group therefore showed improved ADL at discharge than the dementia group. FIM at admission, the changes of FIM, and duration of hospitalization were not significantly different in both groups.
