Unipedal stance time is associated with fall outcomes in older chemotherapy-treated cancer survivors: A retrospective study.

By 2040, 19 million adults over the age of 65 will have a history of cancer. Falls in older cancer survivors have serious implications including missed cancer treatments and being associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and a decreased quality of life [1–3]. Many risk factors are thought to contribute to falls in cancer survivors, including age, frailty, fatigue, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, and lab abnormalities in addition to impairments in functional status, balance, vestibular function, vision, and cognition [4–6].
