Σύνοψη	The Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) is a self-report or informant-rated questionnaire designed to measure participation in activities of daily living and instrumental activities over a 3-month period. Developed by Holbrook and Skilbeck (1983) at the Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, the FAI evaluates participation in 15 activities spanning domestic, leisure, and work domains. The FAI is widely used in stroke rehabilitation and aging research to measure broader functional recovery, social participation, and return to valued activities beyond basic self-care.	The Upper Extremity Functional Scale (UEFS) is a self-report outcome measure designed to quantify functional limitation and capacity in the upper extremity (arm, hand) across everyday activities. Various versions exist; the most commonly used in occupational therapy and rehabilitation derive from adaptations of functional capacity assessment frameworks, measuring activities such as eating, dressing, grooming, reaching, grasping, and fine motor tasks. The UEFS is widely used in occupational therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, and ergonomic assessment to track improvement in arm/hand function following injury, surgery, or therapy.
