Results: Results differs significantly between T1 and T2 for the sum of points, as well as for errors in control over hands and head. Before second test (T2), participants acquire knowledge about assessment criteria. The first test (T1) was conducted accordingly to its methodology. STBIDF was applied twice with an interval of 2 weeks. Age of participants ranged from 20 to 23 years. Material & Methods: The study was conducted on a group of 37 female participants, who was physiotherapy students in State University of Applied Sciences in Konin in 2016. The aim of the study is knowledge if familiarity with assessment criteria of this non-apparatus test influence its results. Recent studies did not reveal, whether being familiar with assessment criteria is changing the way of body control during this test. Susceptibility test of body injuries during a fall (STBIDF) was designed to assess subconscious way of body control during a dynamic change of the vertical posture towards lying on your back. Fall prevention programs could decrease fall risk and fall rates but effects of therapy are not everlasting and there is necessity to design good strategy for a life time for individuals with mental disorders to eliminate trauma from these extreme phenomena for them.īackground & Study Aim: Fall is one of leading cause of unintentional injuries and may lead to temporary or permanent disability. People with mental disorders under drug treatment are up to 70% more likely to fall. Necessity of hospitalization caused by a fall could take place up to 60% of population of people with intellectual disability. Elderly with mental disorders could fall event more frequent that once a year. Alongside with common anti-psychotic drug treatment, which leaves extra-pyramidal side effects that affects motor functioning, people with mental disorders could be one of groups of the highest risk of injury or mortality caused by a fall, not to mention appearing of depressive symptoms and fear of falling. From physiotherapist point of view, their cognitive and motor dysfunctions are mostly similar, which allows them to be put in the same high risk of fall group, despite separate analysis in literature. Despite differences in classification and description in literature, individuals with those type of impairment have many common factors that can put them together in terms of fall risk analysis. The aim of this study is generalization of knowledge about similarities between fall risk factors and motor behaviour of people with different type of mental disorders. Sometimes this both types mixed as result of one of another. Intellectual disability is mostly born with neurodevelopmental disorder, while other mental disorders are acquired as a result of mental illness. People with mental disorders are divided for categories based on aetiology of their disabilities.
