Abstract
To examine the effects of home-visit rehabilitation with the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP) on the fear of falling and life activities, 36 home-visit rehabilitation users were divided into intervention and control groups. Both groups underwent MTDLP and routine home-visit rehabilitation interventions, respectively. As a result, specific goals to improve activities and participation were set in the intervention group:facilitating exercise practices in real situations, cooperating with family members and related businesses, and supporting the environment in a well-balanced manner. Three months later, significant improvement was achieved in the intervention group. Thus, the MTDLP reduced the fear of falling by improving the feeling of self-efficacy, and enhanced life activities, suggesting the usefulness of the MTDLP in promoting activities and participation and supporting independence.
