Figure 1.

Composite FAM-splat – a radar chart illustrating the median item scores on admission and discharge. The FAM-splat provides graphic presentation of the disability profile in a radar chart. The FIM + FAM items are arranged as “spokes” of the wheel and the levels from 1 (total dependence) to 7 (total independence) run from the centre outwards. Thus a perfect score would be demonstrated as a large circle. The shaded area represents the difference between the median scores on admission and discharge.
