Questionnaire and Fall Risk Assessment

Completed

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

The goal of this research study is to learn if your answers to questions during an interview can help researchers predict how well you function physically and if you are at a high risk for falls. Primary Objectives: -To determine how accurately a simple questionnaire can predict three objective measures of function in elderly patients with prostate cancer. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the correlations between three functional tests and the number of self-reported falls in elderly patients with prostate cancer. * To determine risk factors related to number of falls in elderly prostate cancer patients.
