Abstract: Objective To investigate the current status of activities of daily living (ADL) and analyze its influence factors in stroke patients with foot drop. Methods From December 2020 to October 2021, 159 stroke inpatients with foot drop in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of a tertiary grade A hospital in Urumqi were selected by using convenience sampling method and they were surveyed by general information questionnaire, the Short Falls Efficacy Scale International, the Functional Ambulation Classfication, the Berg Balance Scale and the Modified Barthel Index. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influence factors of ADL in stroke patients with foot drop. Results The total score of ADL in stroke patients with foot drop was 58.74±19.16. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that balance function, walking ability and fall efficacy entered the regression equation(F=95.361,P<0.001), explaining 64.2% of the total variance of ADL. Conclusion ADL of stroke patients with foot drop is at a medium level. Balance function, walking ability and fall efficacy are the main influence factors of ADL. Therefore, in clinical rehabilitation, the training of balance function and walking ability as well as the intervention of patients' fear of falling should be strengthened, so as to restore ADL of patients.
