Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluating the Feasibility of Providing a Newly Developed Multifactorial Falls Prevention Programme for Community-dwelling Patients After Stroke.
Between 45-73% of people who have had a stroke fall over in the months and years following
their stroke. Falls not only lead to injuries such as broken hips, but they may also lead to
fear of falling. As a consequence people can get fearful to walk, keep up their household
tasks and their social activities such as visiting friends and family.
Research has shown that exercises for strength and balance can help both older people and
patients after stroke to get fitter and healthier and help to prevent them from having a
fall. People also have less falls if they have learned about falls facts and home safety
precautions. Research has further suggested that people have less fear of falling and less
injuries from a fall if they have learned how to fall ('safe landing' strategies). Based on
these research findings the researchers have developed a new falls prevention programme
called the Fall Monty Activity Programme (FallMAP). This programme aims to aid in functional
recovery and reduce falls by combining a mix of activities such as falls education, strength
and balance exercises, and activities that teach people how to get up from the floor and how
to fall safely.
Especially because people with residual impairments following a stroke have an increased risk
of a fall, the feasibility of this programme will be tested in a small group of people after
stroke first. This study is a first step in establishing whether the different components of
the FallMAP are acceptable and practical for both patients after stroke and staff who deliver
the program. In particular, it is important to evaluate if it is feasible to provide the
seven combined components as one comprehensive programme. Secondly, the question whether
participating in the programme can positively influence the participants' fear of falling,
quality of life, leg strength, balance and mobility will be explored. If this feasibility
study suggests the programme can work in the clinical setting, then a definitive randomised
controlled trial will be proposed in order to look at whether the full programme is effective
at reducing falls in patients after stroke.
