FAI/Evidence
Method evidence record

FAI

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.
