[Purpose] We conducted a retrospective study of Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) of stroke patients receiving home-visit rehabilitation, and examined the effect of home-visit rehabilitation by gender. [Participants and Methods] In April and August 2023, the BADL and IADL of 40 stroke patients (21 women) who continuously received home-visit rehabilitation were assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) respectively, and the changes were analyzed for the subjects as a whole and by gender. [Results] Between April and August, the FIM total scores did not change significantly for either sex; FAI total scores improved only for women. [Conclusion] IADL assessment is useful for the daily life assessment of post-stroke homebound patients who use home rehabilitation. In addition, it is important to consider gender differences in IADL.
