- **Change in Sunnaas ADL Index** _(time frame: Change from Baseline in Sunnaas ADL Index at End of Rehabilitation. Change from End of Rehabilitation in Sunnaas ADL Index at 3 months. Change from End of Rehabilitation in Sunnaas ADL Index at 18 Months)_ — Sunnaas ADL Index measures 12 Activities of Daily Life. Each Activity has a Score from 0-3, where 0=totally dependent and 3=independent. The Total Max Score of 36 means Totally Independent.

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Change in Umea Life Satisfaction Checklist** _(time frame: Change from End of Rehabilitation in Umea Life Satisfaction Checklist at 3 Months after Rehabilitation.)_
