Background: This study analysed the effect of the fall prevention education activities on balance, fall efficacy, activities of daily living (ADL) of sub-acute stroke patients.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 24 subacute patients, who have onset period of less than 6 months. They are randomly allocated in the conventional therapy group (n=12) and fall prevention education group (n=12) and observed with frequency for 5 times a week for four weeks. Measuring took place before and after the experiment leading to following results of the Fall efficacy scale (FES), Berg balance scale (BBS) and Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
Results: FES, BBS and FIM score was significantly greater in the post-test than in the pre-test in both groups (p<0.01). Independent t-test confirmed that the fall prevention education group showed much greater improvement change in the FES, BBS and FIM score than conventional therapy group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the importance of clinical contribution of the fall prevention education in the individuals with subacute stroke patients to the balance, fall efficacy and ADL following the stroke rehabilitat
