| dc.description.abstract | Background: Falls are common among stroke survivors in all stages. Homecoming, with family, social, and environmental reintegration is useful for the rehabilitation process but may lead to an increased risk for falls because the patient is no longer in a protected environment. One in five stroke patients experienced a fall after discharge from an inpatient rehabilitation unit. During the rehabilitation process, the physiotherapy assessment should identify the risk of falling in order to select strategies that allow minimizing this risk. Purpose: To estimate the risk for falls among community-dwelling stroke survivors referred to outpatient physiotherapy in a tertiary care hospital and to explore factors associated with increased risk for falls. | pt_PT |
