简要总结
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.
详细描述
Physical Function Interview:
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be asked 6 questions. The first 2 questions ask about your physical ability to walk up and down stairs. The next 4 questions ask about your history of falling down in the last year, symptoms of depression, loss of urinary control, vision problems, and your ability to function physically. If you report that you have fallen down more than 3 times in the last year, you will automatically be referred for a physical therapy evaluation at M. D. Anderson.
Physical Function Tests:
After you have completed the questionnaires, you will perform 3 physical function tests:
- For the first test, you will sit in a chair, stand up, walk 10 feet as quickly and safely as possible, turn around, return to the chair and sit again. This test will be timed. You will perform this test 3 times, the average of the times will be recorded. There will be no rest break between each test.
- For the next test, you will stand only on 1 leg as long as possible, and this time will be recorded.
- You will complete a grip strength test. You will grip a small device in 1 hand and squeeze as hard as you can while you are in a seated position. You will perform this test 3 times and your best measurement will be recorded. There will be no rest period between the 3 tests.
