Purpose: In this study, we performed motion morphological analysis during rising from the supine to the erect position in patients with stroke. Methods: This study included 75 patients with stroke in whom we used the Van Sant’s classification to analyze patient behavior in a standing position. We performed morphological classification using six patterns in the upper extremities, four patterns in the head and trunk region, and four patterns in the lower extremities and used multiple response frequency analysis. Results: Multiple response frequency analysis showed that push and reach was the most common (69.33%) and symmetrical reach was the least common (2.67%) pattern in the upper extremities. With regard to head-body patterns, rotation-induced symmetrical interruption was the most common (65.33%) and symmetrical (8.00%) was the least common pattern. With regard to lower extremity patterns, asymmetrical squats were the most common (64.00%), followed by symmetrical squats (25.33%). Conclusion: In this study, we developed an effective exercise program and posture training method to cope with falls based on the general appearance of a patient who rises from the supine to the erect position.
