Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effects of a fall prevention program on gait, balance and falls efficacy in stroke patients Methods: The study utilized a non-equivalent control group pretest and post test design. Subjects were contacted at the oriental medicine ward of D hospital in B city for strokes. The subjects were 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The fall prevention program consists of fall related exercises and fall related education. Collected data were analyzed using a t-test, Chi-Square test, Fisher's exact test by SPSS 14.0 Win program. Results: The fall prevention program with exercises and education used in this study was found to be very effective in increasing gait, balance and falls efficacy in patients with stroke. Conclusion: The fall prevention program used in this study seems appropriate for stroke patients. Thus, further research to refine the efficacy and application of this program is warranted.
