Fall Risk Intervention for Stroke
This study is testing a new program called "Fall Prevention Intervention" to help people who have had a stroke avoid falls. After a stroke, falling is a common problem that can lead to injuries and fear. This study aims to see if this special program, given while you are in the hospital recovering from a stroke, can reduce your risk of falling. You might be able to join if you are between 45 and 85 years old, have recently had a stroke, and are currently in inpatient rehabilitation. The researchers will measure your balance and how often you fall to see if the intervention is successful. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 134 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 134 participants. It compares a Fall Prevention Intervention to an Active Control group.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive extra treatment during their inpatient rehabilitation. After leaving the hospital, you will receive daily text messages for a period of time to report any falls.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for fall rates at 30 days and 90 days after leaving the hospital.

What this trial measures
- Berg Balance ScaleImmediately post intervention
Proportion of participants in each group who are at fall risk at hospital discharge, determined by the Berg Balance Scale (where fall risk is indicated by a score \</= 43 out of 56).
- Fall Rate30-days post intervention
Prevalence of fallers (one or more falls) in each group 30 days after discharge
- Fall Rate90 days post intervention
Prevalence of fallers (one or more falls) in each group 90 days after discharge
