Abstract

Proxy agreement for telephone administration of the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART) to community-living individuals 18 months poststroke and their caregivers was assessed and compared to in-person interview of the same sample 1 year earlier. Proxy agreement was adequate for a summary score and for all but one of the dimensions (social integration), replicating prior findings. Physical independence, mobility, and occupation dimensions were intercorrelated. Scores for these dimensions at 6 months poststroke predicted later scores. The study contributes to the validity of the CHART, especially the physical independence, mobility, and occupation dimensions.
