Community dwelling long-term stroke survivors who had ended their participation in the two-year prospective study on stroke, and who had not participated in the first phase of this project were sent the PBSI, the EQ-5D 5-item questionnaire and its thermometer scale (EQ-VAS).
Learning to resist gait-slip falls: long-term retention in community-dwelling older adults.
