  The aim of the study was to comprehensively investigate and compare the responsiveness and validity of two ADL measures. The subjects consisted of seventy stroke patients, and they received a three-week intervention. Stroke is one of the leading causes of activity limitations and participation restriction. Rehabilitation aims to facilitate functional independence through preventing restrictions in abilities of the patient to participate in daily activities. The goal of this study was to compare the responsiveness of the Nottingham Extended ADL Scale and Frenchay Activities Index in stroke patients that are in therapy. All participants received distributed constraint-induced therapy, bilateral arm training or control treatment for three weeks. The findings of the study suggested that the Nottingham Extended ADL Scale and Frenchay Activities Index are both valid measures of instrumental activities of daily living in stroke survivors. However, the Nottingham Extended ADL Scale is more responsive than the Frenchay Acticities Index.
