“…Several studies also report that stroke patients with a history of falling are likely to have lower levels of fall-related self-efficacy than those without a history of falling (Andersson, Kamwendo, & Appelros, 2008;Belgen et al, 2006;Friedman, Munoz, West, Rubin, & Fried, 2002). Considering the falls were associated with falls efficacy, rehabilitation interventions should also be incorporated to improve falls efficacy for stroke survivors (Tsai, Yin, Tung, & Shimada, 2011). Several studies reported that fall-related self-efficacy could be improved by the integrated motor imagery intervention (Dickstein et al, 2013) and combination of exercise with self-efficacy-enhancing education (Arnold, Faulkner, & Gyurcsik, 2011).…”

“…The mere fact of having suffered a previous fall reveals little about the cause of the falls. (84) found that subjects with a fall history are more likely to sustain further falls. In a metaanalysis of six prospective studies of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease, Pickering et al (85) concluded that the strongest predictor was falls in the preceding year.…”

Falls are a common and serious problem for older adults. Approximately one-third of older communitydwelling people fall at least once a year. The main purpose of this paper is to present risk factors for fall in older people living at home. The databases used for identifying documentation of risk factors are Cinahl, Eric, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Medline, Psycinfo and dissertation. Many psychosocial and medical conditions and impairment of sensorimotor function, balance and gait have been shown in large epidemiological studies to be strongly associated with falls. Several of the risk factors are interrelated. The intrinsic-extrinsic distinction seem to be an oversimplification. A better understanding of falls is usually obtained when examining the person in association with the environmental factors. Advanced age, history of falls, ADL limitations, impaired gait and mobility, visual impairment, reduced sensation, muscular weakness, poor reaction time, impaired cognition, diseases as stroke, use of psychoactive medication and use of many medications are risk factors shown to be strongly associated with falls. This means recommendation of multifactorial fall risk assessment must incorporate a range of physiological and mental tests in addition to assessing balance and gait as well as taking multiple chronic diseases and medications into account. These finding underscore the importance of multidimensional fall intervention with special focus on modifiable risk factors.

“…The two scales were similar in terms of measuring self-efficacy in terms of indoor and outdoor ADL. The literature has consistently documented a relationship between fall efficacy and ADL, and a previous history of falls may reduce the individual's confidence in terms of participation in rehabilitation activities (Pang and Eng, 2008;Tsai et al, 2011;Monteiro et al, 2013).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Daily Living Self-Efficacy Scale (DLSES) in stroke patients. In total, 172 participants were recruited from a local hospital in China. The internal consistent reliability and convergent validity of the total scale and activities of daily living (ADL) and psychosocial functioning subscales were examined and factor analysis was carried out. Cronbach's αs for the Chinese version of the DLSES, ADL subscale, and psychosocial subscale were 0.96, 0.90, and 0.95, respectively. In the factor analysis, two factors (ADL and psychosocial functioning) were extracted, explaining 84.4% of the total variance in self-efficacy (χ/d.f.=2.19, root mean square error of approximation=0.08, normed fit index=0.95, comparative fit index=0.98, incremental fit index=0.98). Convergent validity was confirmed by positive relationships between the Chinese version of the DLSES and the Modified Fall Efficacy Scale (r=0.87). The ADL subscale was associated positively with the Barthel Index (r=0.74) and the psychosocial functioning subscale was associated negatively with the Functional Activities Questionnaire (r=-0.73) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (r=-0.44). The Chinese version of the DLSES was shown to be a reliable and valid measure of self-efficacy in stroke patients.
