METHODS: The study comprised 37 patients, aged 66-89 years. Main outcome measurement instruments were the Falls Efficacy Scale (Swedish version), Berg Balance Scale and Functional Independence Measure. RESULTS: Significant improvements occurred in all these measures from admission to discharge, but patients with low self-efficacy at discharge showed less pronounced improvements than those with high self-efficacy. Falls Efficacy Scale (Swedish version) was closely associated with all other measures and was a more powerful predictor of activities of daily living than the observer-based measures of balance. CONCLUSION: To minimize dependence in activities of daily living, rehabilitation interventions should incorporate self-efficacy enhancement. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2003228261 |
