Summary

This study is about exploring the effectiveness of individual and family self-management (IFSM) fall prevention programs on balance ability and fall-related self-efficacy in post-stroke people. The main intervention measures were developed based on the risk and protective factors of fall prevention in post-stroke people, including exercise, environment safety, assistant technology, medication review, and safety in daily activities. The intervention was implemented in 10 weeks for both patients and their family members. By mastering these skills, post-stroke people may reduce the number of falls after discharge to home.
