4. Discussion
This study shows a clear decrease in independence level in all basic activities of daily living. The magnitude of this independence decrease between the baseline and at 90 days has been higher in the ambulation activities (31.6%), the ability to climb stairs (29.4%) and the ability to move from the couch to the bed (29.2%). The smallest decrease of independence was produced in the ability to feed (4.8%). These results show that the mechanical activities are the most affected. In this sense Alarcon et al. (2011) describes in his work that the most affected activities at 24 months were up and down stairs, go to bed and the ambulation capacity (Recovery between 67 and 76%). The activities less affected were grooming, feeding and the toilet training (86–95%) (Alarcon et al., 2011).
