    Functional capacity and risk of falls in older adults at the geriatric Hospital of the Peruvian Air Force, 2020
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-11-15) Torres Mego, Julia Patricia; Uturunco Vera, Milagros Lizbeth
    The present study is to verify the relationship that exists between the decrease in functional capacity and the risk of falls in older adult patients at the Geriatric Hospital of the Peruvian Air Force. The focus of this academic work will be quantitative (statistical parameters in the evaluation of data), transversal (data collection at a specific time) and correlational due to the relationship that must exist between two variables. The study population or sample is 96 patients. Data collection will be done with the application of measurement instruments such as the Barthel Index to evaluate the patient's functional capacity and the Tinetti Scale to evaluate gait and balance.
