We assessed the prevalence of fear of falling (FoF) in a sample of
people with chronic stroke and compared multiple variables (balance, anxiety,
depression, activity and participation, and stroke severity) in people with and
without FoF. METHOD: This study was a secondary analysis of data collected from a
cross-sectional study of mobility after stroke in 77 participants with chronic
stroke (>6 mo poststroke). RESULTS: Of the 77 participants, 51 (66%) reported
experiencing FoF. People with FoF had significantly decreased balance (p < .001)
and activity and participation (p = .006) and significantly increased anxiety (p
= .007). People with FoF also had significantly worse stroke severity (p = .001).
CONCLUSION: FoF is a prevalent concern in the chronic stroke population. The
presence of FoF was associated with a variety of negative consequences.
Occupational therapy practitioners should address FoF to help clients manage FoF
and possibly improve recovery.
