This study is creating a test to predict falls in people with neuromuscular disorders. You will fill out a questionnaire about your fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a neuromuscular disorder (a condition affecting your muscles or nerves).
- You must be able to understand the questions and give consent.
- You must be able to walk at least 10 meters (about 33 feet) without help from a person or a walking aid.
- You have NOT had knee, hip or back surgery in the last 3 months.
