Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the recurrent falls in patients with acute stroke. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
- what is the frequency of recurrent falls
- which factors are associated with recurrent falls in patients with acute stroke. Participants will be evaluated in terms of
- frequency of recurrent falls within the six months after stroke
- fear of falling
- the stroke severity (Canadian Neurological Scale),
- ambulation level (Functional Ambulation Classification),
- functional disability (Functional Independence Scale)
- Postural control and balance
- functional status (Modified Rankin Scale)
