Brief Summary:
The purposes of this study are 1 to investigate the incidence and causes of falls of stroke patients residing in Taipei City and Taipei county after their discharge from the National Taiwan University Hospital 2 to investigate the relationship between clinical manifestations of stroke patients before their hospital discharge and their incidence of falls after hospital discharge and 3 to identify the risk factors for stroke patients who frequently fall after hospital discharge
Detailed Description:
Falls are one of the most common accidents among stroke patients Stroke patients are more prone to falls than community-dwelling older adults because of their cumulative risk factors of falls such as cognitive impairment and motor dysfunction Recent studies on falls in Taiwan have primarily focused on falls of community-dwelling older adults Research focused on falls among stroke patients in Taiwan however is scarce Studies reported by researchers in other countries have only investigated the incidence and causes of falls of patients staying in medical institutions up to three months post-stroke Therefore the incidence and immediate causes of falls remain unknown for post-hospital discharge stroke patients during their sub-acute and chronic stages In addition whether falls of stroke patients after hospital discharge could be predicted by their clinical manifestations during hospital stay also requires further investigation
