Thanks for the video; I have a query from the field of rehabilitation. Our objective is to find the risk factors of falls in patients who had stroke. Here we identify patients with stroke and ask them their history of falls in last 3 months and we categorise the patients into fallers and non fallers. At the same time we also assess their different factors like balance, fear of falling etc.. to know which of these factors were influencing the falls. Can you mention which design it is.. Case control/retrospective cohort. Upto my understanding it is a case control study
What do you mean by history control? There is a term known as historical control which is a treated person used in a study as a control when there is no control group. But I don’t think you are talking about that. Could you please elaborate more?

Correct
Sir, In case of history control studies, randomisation is possible or not?
