Summary

Falls after stroke are common. Previous research has shown that almost every other, 48%, of patients with a first-ever stroke fell at least once during the first year after stroke (1). Moreover, most of the patients fell during the first three months after stroke onset. However, the exact time-point for the falls was not analyzed (1). In addition, many patients are falling already during hospital stay (2-5). Reducing the number of falls during inpatient rehabilitation on a stroke unit is a high-priority mission. Greater knowledge concerning the factors that best predict falls is eligible.

The aim of the study is to analyze the significance of different physiological, psychological and medical factors for predicting the risk of falling in patients with stroke per day of care at a stroke unit.
