The cerebrovascular event I the most neurological prevalent disease on adults, causes a great amount of disability on this medium, can be classified by his cause as ischemic or hemorrhagic, by measuring the level of disability can determine the impact of the cerebrovascular event In our patients an accordingly fixing rehabilitation goals, identifying goals, identifying priorities that are required according to the findings of the clinics assessment. Objectives: Measuring the functional dependency presenting on patients of central military hospital after suffering cerebrovascular event with the FIM (functional independence measure) scale. Methodology: In retrospect it was made a chart review, measuring the total score an each o f the items evaluated and analyzed these results to determine which of the life activities show greater disability on patients. Results: Patients presented in military hospital with cerebrovascular event is affected in significant functionality according to the findings of the assess whit the FMI scale the commitment is higher in the motor domain than the cognitive domain the most affected activities are those requiring long displacements or the use of ladders an less are committed to social interaction an understanding. Conclusions: This study showed that cerebrovascular event affect the functionality of the patient and thus their quality of life, this makes it important to the objective evaluation of the functionality and allows you to set individual goals of rehabilitation whereby scales functional assessment must be always performed objectively to measurement.
