"Prescribing" Exercise to Cancer Patients At High-Risk for Falls

United States34 participantsStarted 2020-09-03

Plain-language summary

Falls are common and catastrophic in cancer patients. Cancer patients are vulnerable to falls due to muscle loss. In prescribing exercise in a data driven manner to cancer patients, our hypothesis is this "prescription" for exercise will eventually be demonstrated to reduce the occurrence of injurious falls.
