Abstract
Almost 30% of this stroke population with minor cognitive deficits and moderate to high mobility scores reported falls during the 12 weeks of outpatient rehabilitation. Falls were negatively associated with self-reported functional status measured by the change in SIS-16 score. Therefore, it is important to identify patients with high risk of falls and implement strategies to reduce falls.
