Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the recurrent falls in patients with acute stroke. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

what is the frequency of recurrent falls
which factors are associated with recurrent falls in patients with acute stroke.

Participants will be evaluated in terms of

frequency of recurrent falls within the six months after stroke
fear of falling
the stroke severity (Canadian Neurological Scale),
ambulation level (Functional Ambulation Classification),
functional disability (Functional Independence Scale)
Postural control and balance
functional status (Modified Rankin Scale)

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Fall Stroke	Other: Fall evaluation

Detailed Description

Falling is common in stroke patients both in the hospital and at home after discharge. As a result, physical problems such as fractures and psychological problems such as fear of falling, limitation of physical activity and social isolation occur. Identifying the factors that cause falls after stroke will contribute to the recovery process by preventing complications by taking the necessary precautions and increasing the patient's participation in rehabilitation. This study was planned to determine the frequency of falls in patients with acute stroke and to determine the risk factors associated with recurrent falls within the first six months after stroke.
