Which domains are covered by the FROP-COM protocol?

• A. Balance, gait, strength, cognition, medication, and environment
• B. Diet, sleep, mood
• C. Vision, hearing, taste
• D. Language, memory, color vision

Answer: (A)

FROP-COM is a multi-domain tool used to assess fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. It specifically evaluates six interrelated areas that commonly contribute to falls: physical performance (balance, gait, and leg strength), cognitive function, medication-related risk, and the home environment. By combining these domains, it captures how a person’s physical abilities, thinking skills, drug effects, and living setup interact to influence fall risk, guiding targeted interventions. The other options mix in factors not covered by this protocol’s core domains, such as only diet/sleep/mood, or solely sensory or language/memory aspects, which don’t reflect the full scope of FROP-COM.
