Main results
We included 10 studies with a total of 1004 participants. One study evaluated the effect of exercises in the acute and subacute phase
after stroke but found no significant difference in rate of falls (rate ratio 0.92, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.90, 95 participants). The pooled result
of four studies investigating the effect of exercises on preventing falls in the chronic phase also found no significant difference for rate
of falls (rate ratio 0.75, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.38, 412 participants)
