Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The falls after stroke trial (FAST) will be undertaken in metropolitan Sydney and Canberra Australia.
The intervention will have an active 6 month intervention period and a passive (further) 6 months follow-up period.
Participants randomised into the intervention (experimental) group will receive a home-based, tailored intervention consisting of habit-forming exercise and home/community safety training depending on their level of disability. For example, the faster walkers (> 0.8 m/s) will have most emphasis on habit-forming exercise, the slower walkers (< 0.4 m/s) will have most emphasis on safety training, while the middle group (0.4-0.8 m/s) will have a combination of both habit-forming exercise and safety training. Habit-forming exercise will be based on the successful Lifestyle integrated Functional Exercise program which has been shown to be beneficial for older persons with a history of two or more falls or an injurious fall in a study by Professor Lindy Clemson and colleagues [Clemson, L., et al., Integration of balance and strength training into daily life activity to reduce rate of falls in older people (the LiFE study): randomised parallel trial. British Medical Journal, 2012: p. 345]. This program encourages participants to look for ways of doing more physical activity. Activities which challenge their balance and strength will be incorporated into specific daily tasks. They will be performed intentionally and consciously until they become habitual and embedded in daily occupation. Feedback and monitoring via paper documentation and positive reinforcement will be used to enhance the performance of these activities and the self-efficacy of the participants. Rather than a prescribed set of exercises conducted several times a week, activities will occur whenever the opportunity arises during the day. An activity incorporating the strategy of challenging balance by “reducing base of support” might involve a tandem stand while working at the kitchen bench, and over time could be progressed to working while standing on one leg. An activity incorporating the strategy of increasing strength by “bending the knees” might involve squatting instead of bending at the waist to close a drawer, and could be progressed to squatting to close a lower drawer.
The safety intervention will focus on environmental adaptations to reduce fall hazards and protective behaviours to reduce risk. The Westmead Home Safety Assessment and the Falls Behavioural Scale for Older People will be used to identify environmental hazards, as well as risks, so that the participants and therapist can generate solutions. A community mobility goal will be identified for each intervention participant that is relevant for them with a plan to practice related strategies . The intervention will incorporate strategies for enhancing self-efficacy, cueing and monitoring to booster adherence, and engagement of participant in planning, decision making and follow through. Participants will have access to a selection of simple home adaptations, such as non-slip strips, double sided tape to secure carpets, LED sensor globes to improve night lighting, in addition to referral to usual home modification services in the community. Participants under the guidance of therapists will be also encouraged to practice safe activities that are within their current capabilities in the home and community.
Materials, instruction booklets or any other equipment the participant may need to complete the intervention component will be provided to the participant at no cost.

The home-based tailored intervention will be delivered through 7 weekly home visits followed by three booster sessions at Weeks 9, 13, 19 with two phone calls during Week 15 and 23. The intervention dose is warranted, given stroke survivors are at greater risk of falls and we are providing a combined intervention of habit forming exercise and safety. Participants will record practice using weekly logs to monitor adherence to the exercise. It is expected that home visits will take approx. 1-1.5 hours while booster phone calls will last between 30min-1h.

The intervention and all assessments will be provided by experienced physiotherapists and occupational therapists. All study parts (assessment, intervention and follow-up) will take place in the comfort of the participant’s home at a mutually convenient time. Therapists have experience in working with older adults, adults with age-related disability and have previously worked in the community or out-patient setting. All assessors will undergo a 2 day training workshop, where they will learn the standardised assessments, data management and any other study related standardised operating procedures. All interventionists (occupational therapists and physiotherapists) will part-take in a 2 day workshop to learn the Life-style integrated physical activity programme as well as learning the home-safety and community mobility programme. Further, occupational therapists must, and physiotherapists are encouraged to complete the online learning module available for home-safety for this cohort. Therapists are required to complete the training successfully prior delivering the intervention. Throughout the intervention trial, various fidelity checks will occur for both assessors and interventionist to ensure standardised procedures.

Adherence to the trial will be measured in several ways. Participants are required to document their planned activities in their activity planner while also in reporting, in a pre-defined interval, which activities they have completed via their activity counter. Further, participants will complete the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS) during their last home visit in week 23 and again during the 12 month follow-up. This will provide us with an objective adherence measure alongside regular documentation.

Comparator / control treatment
The control group will receive usual care which will equate to no active intervention. This reflects the current situation for community-dwelling individuals after stroke discharged from rehabilitation in Australia, where opportunities for rehabilitation largely cease by 6 months.
We expect that we will finish this study in 2023, and that at this time, we will mail a one-page summary of the findings to all interested participants which they can share with their local healthcare provider about how to deliver the new intervention. We will also share this information with the Stroke Foundation to post on the EnableMe website.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320622 0
Number and rate of falls will be measured (monthly) prospectively using falls calendars (to be returned using reply paid envelopes) or via an online survey. Information about fall circumstances and possible injuries will also be recorded. Participants who forget to report back monthly will be called by a member of the research team. Rate of falls will be our primary outcome measure.
Timepoint [1] 320622 0
Monthly between 0-12 months post randomisation
Secondary outcome [1] 372238 0
Proportion of fallers in each group
Proportion of fallers will be calculated used the monthly falls calendars, which participants are asked to fill in. If participants fail to return this information to the study team, a blinded assessor will contact the participants to obtain this information. Using monthly falls calendars to obtain falls data is considered the golden standard

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Stroke survivors will be randomised into one of three groups. Walking speed will be used to stratify the allocation of participants to groups because it has been found to be associated with community ambulation (Perry et al 1995). The cut-offs for walking speed will be 0.4 m/s and 0.8 m/s. Within each of the three strata (< 0.4 versus 0.4-0.8 versus > 0.8 m/s) participants will be allocated randomly to one of two groups – the experimental or the control group. Randomisation will be conducted after the baseline assessment and concealed from the recruiter by using an automated secure website that will be operated by an off-site independent service.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Random permuted blocks, of varying size.
Randomised based on 3 groups of initial walking speed [ I: <0.4m/s; II: 0.4-0.8m/s; III: >0.8m/s ]

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Data will be analysed by a statistician who is blinded to group status. Analyses will be conducted according to the pre-defined statistical analysis plan on an intention-to-treat basis. For the primary outcome, a statistical significance level of 5% will be used. For the secondary outcomes a significance level of 1% will be used.
Primary outcome: The rate of falls will be analysed using negative binomial (or other appropriate) regression to estimate the ratio of fall rates between each of the intervention groups and the control group (Robertson et al 2005). Confounding variables such as stroke-specific impairments and demographics factors will be adjusted for, if required. Length of follow-up will be included as an exposure term in these models, i.e. the logarithm of the days of follow-up will be added as an offset.
Secondary outcomes:
The proportion of fallers in the experimental group will be compared with the control group, using logistic regression
Between-group comparisons for the continuous secondary outcome measures will be made using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), adjusted for baseline covariates if appropriate. Ordinal secondary outcomes will be analysed for between-group differences using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U statistic.

Multivariate linear regressions will be used to identify determinants of adherence based on a continuous adherence outcome measure - exercise adherence rating scale (EARS - Newman-Beinart 2016). Further, multivariate modelling will be applied to understand the impact of adherence on the primary and secondary outcome measures on a continuous scale, and dichotomised to represent 'full adherence'.
The economic evaluation will be conducted from the perspective of the health and community service provider. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios will be calculated using multiple health outcomes, i.e. the incremental cost per a) fall prevented, b) per fall requiring medical attention avoided, c) presentation at emergency department avoided, d) hospital admission avoided, and e) QALY gained (based on the EQ5D-5L). Using the mean costs in each trial arm, and the mean health outcomes in each arm, the incremental cost per health outcome (a-e, above) of the intervention group compared to the control group will be calculated and results will be plotted on a cost- effectiveness plane. Bootstrapping will be used to estimate a distribution around costs and health outcomes, and to calculate the confidence intervals around the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios taking account of joint uncertainty in costs and benefits. One way sensitivity analysis will be conducted around key variables; a cost-effectiveness acceptability curve will be plotted. A cost- effectiveness acceptability curve provides information about the probability that an intervention is cost-effective, given a decision maker’s willingness to pay for each additional health outcome gained.
