Reintegration to Normal Living Index

The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) is a brief, patient-report measure designed to assess how completely a person has returned to 'normal' community living following a major health event (stroke, head injury, cardiac event, or other condition requiring significant recovery). Developed by Wood-Dauphinee and colleagues in the 1980s, RNLI captures the subjective experience of reintegration: the degree to which the person feels they have resumed their pre-illness social roles, activities, and independence.
