The Exercise Intervention To Prevent Falls After Stroke Project aimed to prevent falls, enhance mobility, and increase physical activity in community dwellers after stroke. The design was a prospective randomised controlled trial. Participants were recruited between November 2006 and January 2009. After completion of the pre-test assessment, participants were randomly allocated to the experimental or control groups. The primary outcome measures were falls, walking capacity and walking speed. Secondary outcome measures were risk of falling, physical activity levels, community participation, health-related quality of life, health service utilisation, arm function and cognition. The project was funded by the Health Promotion Demonstration Research Grants Scheme.
