[Falls in early in-patient rehabilitation of stroke patients].
Early in-patient rehabilitation is a basis for functional state improvement in patients with cerebral stroke (CS). The influence of the falls on the efficacy of early in-patient stroke rehabilitation is demonstrated. The incidence of falls among the patients with concomitant complications was 35.6%, in 3.4% of them hip fracture being observed. Patients with disturbances of orientation, coordination and mental abilities, especially in the cases of right hemisphere lesions, fall more frequently because of inadequate- or over estimation of their abilities. In this group, the indices of rehabilitation efficacy were lower that allowed to highlight the problem of falls in the patients with cerebral stroke at the early in-patient stage of rehabilitation.
