Falls in community-dwelling stroke survivors: an accumulated impairments model.
UNLABELLED Falling has been identified as a major complication in persons who have had a stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of accumulated impairments on the risk of falling in community-dwelling stroke survivors. METHODS Community-dwelling stroke survivors were identified from the Kansas City Stroke Study, a large cohort study of stroke survivors. We evaluated th...
متن کاملHigher incidence of falls in long-term stroke survivors than in population controls: depressive symptoms predict falls after stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of falls among noninstitutionalized individuals with long-standing stroke has not been examined previously, although fractures are more common and the consequences more severe for stroke patients than for elderly people in general. METHODS For 4 months (September to December 1998), we followed 111 home-living patients who had suffered a stroke a mean of 10...
متن کاملInfluence of Fear of Falling Severity Measured by Falls Efficacy Scale-International on Gait and Balance Performance After Chronic Stroke
Objectives: Fear of falling (FOF) is a common complication after stroke affecting gait and balance performance in individuals with a history of stroke. The current study aimed at determining the influence of the level of FOF on gait and balance performance after chronic stroke. Methods: A total of 76 persons with chronic stroke (including 41 women), who had no cognitive impairment and could wa...
متن کاملFalls in individuals with stroke.
Stroke survivors are at high risk for falls in all poststroke stages. Falls may have severe consequences, both physically and psychosocially. Individuals with stroke have an increased risk for hip fractures, and after such a fracture, they less often regain independent mobility. In addition, fear of falling is a common consequence of falls, which may lead to decreased physical activity, social ...
متن کاملHistory of falls, gait, balance, and fall risks in older cancer survivors living in the community
Older cancer survivors may be predisposed to falls because cancer-related sequelae affect virtually all body systems. The use of a history of falls, gait speed, and balance tests to assess fall risks remains to be investigated in this population. This study examined the relationship of previous falls, gait, and balance with falls in community-dwelling older cancer survivors. At the baseline, de...
