Summary

This study tested a fall prevention education program for people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The program was based on the Health Belief Model and included two in-person sessions. Researchers compared the program to usual care in 44 participants to see if it improved health literacy, physical function, and reduced fall risk and fear of falling.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
health belief model-based fall prevention education program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help stroke patients avoid falls and stay active.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 44 participants. The results may not apply to all stroke patients, and the program's long-term benefits are unknown.
