Description

[Purpose] In this study, we investigated falls by cerebrovascular attack patients, and the factors that influenced the falls. [Subjects] The subjects were 41 cerebrovascular attack patients aged between 45 and 87. [Methods] The falls of cerebrovascular attack patients were investigated. We evaluated the motor and the sensory functions and attention. The relation with each factor and the falls was examined, and the factor with the strongest relation with falls was examined. [Results] Attention, and motor and the sensory functions showed significant decreases in the fall group, but there were no differences between age and the paralyzed side related to falls. [Conclusion] The results show that the risk factors of fall in cerebrovascular attack patients are attention and the motor, and sensory functions.<br>
