Fall risk intervention for stroke patients in rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a program to help stroke patients in inpatient rehab reduce their risk of falling. It uses a stepping and obstacle test to identify who is at risk and then provides an intervention to improve balance and mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to inpatient rehabilitation after a stroke.
- You were at risk of falling when you were admitted, based on a balance test.
- You did not have any falls before your stroke.
- You lived independently and managed daily activities on your own before the stroke.
- You can follow simple instructions and make your own decisions about participating.
- You can stand upright for 10 seconds with help from one person.
