Fall Frequency and Factors Affecting Dynamic Balance in Patients With Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Sponsor: Antalya Training and Research Hospital
Summary
This cross-sectional observational study aims to determine the frequency of falls in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and to identify factors affecting dynamic balance. The study will also evaluate fear of falling, selected lower extremity muscle strength, and the relationship between muscle strength and fall frequency. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of fall risk and balance impairment in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1.
