Objective: Individuals with stroke frequently experience mobility deficits and limited community reintegration. This study aimed to investigate life-space mobility and relevant factors in community-living individuals with stroke. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 46 community-dwelling individuals with chronic stroke in Japan (mean age 72.7 ± 7.4 years; mean time post-stroke 63.6 ± 43.3 months; 26 men/20 women). We measured life-space mobility using a Japanese translation of the Life-Space Assessment. The following factors that might affect life-space mobility were assessed: the ability to perform activities of daily living, physical performance, fear of falling, and cognitive function. Results: A total of 41 participants (89.1%) had restricted life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment score <60 points). A multiple linear regression analysis showed that limitations in activities of daily living, walking speed, and Falls Efficacy Scale-International scores were independently related to Life-Space Assessment scores. This model explained 51.3% of the variance in Life-Space Assessment scores. Conclusions: Most individuals with stroke had restricted life-space mobility. Life-space mobility was associated with the ability to perform activities of daily living, walking speed, and fear of falling. These findings could contribute to the development of rehabilitation interventions for regaining life-space mobility in individuals with stroke.
