Fall events among people with stroke living in the community: circumstances of falls and characteristics of fallers
TL;DR: The high risk of falling among people with stroke was evident in this community-based sample and repeat fallers had greater mobility deficits and significantly reduced arm function and ADL ability than those who did not report any instability.

People with stroke living in the community: Attention deficits, balance, ADL ability and falls
D. Hyndman,Ann Ashburn +1 more
TL;DR: Attention deficits were common among people with stroke living in the community; sustained and divided attention deficits correlated with functional impairments and falls, highlighting that attention deficits might contribute to accident prone behaviour and falling.

Resuming previously valued activities post-stroke: who or what helps?
TL;DR: A long-term role for rehabilitation services such as identifying the significance of different types of activities; providing access to support and treatment for debilitating symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness; addressing patients' emotional and behavioural responses to their condition; working with patients' wider social networks and where appropriate, supporting adaptation to a changed way of life.

“Stops walking when talking” as a predictor of falls in people with stroke living in the community
D. Hyndman,Ann Ashburn +1 more
TL;DR: Although the SWWT test was easy to use, its clinical usefulness as a single indicator of fall risk in identifying those community dwelling people with stroke most at risk of falls and in need of therapeutic intervention is questionable.

The influence of attention deficits on functional recovery post stroke during the first 12 months after discharge from hospital
TL;DR: Although attention and function correlated significantly, this correlation was reduced after controlling for functional ability at discharge, and side of lesion and the attention variables were not demonstrated as important predictors of outcome 12 months later.
