| Popis: | Contains fulltext : 49325.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) We monitored the incidence and consequences of falls during a 3-month follow-up in 66 patients with a variety of neuromuscular disorders and in 44 age-matched controls. Patients fell more often than controls (27% versus 5%). Falls frequently caused injuries (minor in 79% of subjects and major in 5%) and were often accompanied by fear of falling (58%) and reduced activities (48%). We conclude that falling is a clinically important problem in patients with neuromuscular disorders. |
