This study aims to investigate the correlation between prelusive movements to falls and various physical functions of chronic stroke patients and provide basic data for research on chronic stroke patients’ falls and use it as a guideline to manage and prevent falling. The subjects of the study were 75 patients who had agreed to participate in this study. These stroke patients were diagnosed with hemiparesis, receiving hospital treatment at N Hospital. In this study, the Tinetti test was used to examine the pre-fall motion. The one-leg standing test (OLST), sit-to-stand test (STS), and trunk impairment scale (TIS) were used to examine the body functions. While comparing physical functions of subjects, the none-falling group had a significant difference in OLST-affected side, non-affected side, TIS-static balance, and TIS-coordination, in comparison with a once-falling group and a multi-falling group, and the once-falling group had a relatively significant difference than the multi-falling group. In addition, the none-falling group had a significant difference in total comparison of balances from prelusive movements to falls, in comparison with a once-falling group and a multi-falling group. According to the study, it found that the higher the number of falls, the higher the risk of falls, the lower the body function, and the lower the ability to control posture, and the dependence on non-parasitic lower limb was greater. Therefore, the systematic and multifaceted training of body functions that can affect the fall precursor movement are required to prevent falls in patients with stroke.
