Research advances in exercise for prevention of falls in post-stroke patients

Due to impaired sensory and motor functions, post-stroke patients have higher incidence of accidental falls, increasing the burden of medical service and care. Thus, taking appropriate measures to reduce the incidence of falls and fall-related injuries is essential. Exercise is proven to be an effective method for falls prevention, and there are a lot of exercise training methods for post-stroke patients, so the research advances in exercise for the prevention of falls in post-stroke patients are reviewed in this paper, so as to help post-stroke patients to choose appropriate exercise to prevent falls.
