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.
