Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a convergence approach, which applies both home environment modification applied with assistive technology and task-oriented intervention using a fall safety checklist, on the fall efficacy and activity level of stroke patients. 41 persons with stroke(21 experimental groups and 20 control groups) were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was applied environmental modification and the task-oriented intervention using the fall safety checklist for 4 weeks. The control group was provided only the environmental modification. Before and after the intervention, the Korean Activity Card Sort (KACS) and the Korean Falls Efficacy Scale-Korean version (FES-K) were used for evaluation. There was no significant difference in fall efficacy and activity level change between the experimental group and the control group. Both the experimental group and the control group significantly improved the fall efficacy and activity level after the intervention. By applying the results of this study to the clinical field, it will be possible to support stroke patients to live safely and actively participate in the community.
