Summary

Some stroke survivors develop a fear of falling(FoF) which may exist with or without a prior fall. Fear of fall can be defined as decreased perceived self efficacy or confidence in maintaining balance while completing regular activities. FoF may impair rehabilitation and recovery. Determination of FoF related factors will help to identify interventions needed to decrease FoF. Mostly fear of fall related factors have been studied in acute stroke patients, limited data are available for patients with chronic stroke. The objective of this study is to evaluate frequency of FoF in chronic(\>6 months) stroke patients and investigate relationship between FoF and balance, posture,spasticity and activities of daily living. The Turkish Version of the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale was used to measure FoF. Also a single-item dichotomous question "Are you afraid of falling? (Yes/No)" will be asked.
