ABSTRACT
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. As predictor variables for assessing fall risk, demographic data and the following measurements were selectively collected from patient's medical records Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment-Ambulation (POMA-G), Timed Up and Go test (TUG), 10 m walk test, 2 min walk test, Korean version Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (KMBI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), and Morse Fall Scale (Morse FS).RESULTS:
The Morse FS, TUG, and age were found to be risk factors for the classification of faller and non-faller groups.CONCLUSION:
This study suggests Morse FS, TUG, and age in the routine initial assessment upon admission in a rehabilitation setting, as key variables for screening the risk of fall. Additionally, the cutoff scores of Morse FS and TUG were observed to be more rigid than other clinical settings.Palavras-chave
