Development and Evaluation of a Classified and Tailored Community-Based Exercise Program According to the Mobility Level of People with Stroke Using the Knowledge to Action Framework.

Attempts to classify the mobility levels of people with stroke (PWS) for a tailored exercise program in community settings have been few. We developed and evaluated a classified and tailored community-based (CTC) exercise program according to the mobility level of PWS. Forty-two PWS were classified into the Supine and Sitting, Sitting and Standing, and Standing and Gait groups, based on a newly developed classification model and participated in a group-based CTC exercise program for 1 h/day twice/week for 10 weeks.

An analysis of fall incidence rate and risk factors in an inpatient rehabilitation unit: A retrospective study.

Background: Accurate prediction of fall likelihood is advantageous for instituting fall prevention program in rehabilitation facilities.

Objective: This study was designed to determine the clinical measures, which can predict the risk of fall events in a rehabilitation hospital.

Methods: Medical records of 166 patients (114 males and 52 females) who were hospitalized in an adult inpatient unit of a rehabilitation hospital were retrospectively analyzed for this study.
