Fall risk assessment of elderly by using posturography
Öz: Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı objektif bir ölçüm yöntemi olan posturografi kullanılarak bir grup yaşlı bireyin düşme riskinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üzeri 30 gönüllü birey dahil edildi. Düşkünleştirici düzeyde kardiyak veya solunum sistemi hastalığı olanlar, fokal nörolojik hastalığı olanlar, periferik nöropatisi olanlar yada hareketi engelleyecek şekilde kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlığı olanlar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Bireylerin dengeleri Berg denge skalası ve posturografi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 70.4±4.6 yıldı ve %50'si kadındı. Berg denge. skorunun ortalaması 54.5±3.2, düşme indeksi skorunun ortalaması ise 42.1±23.6 idi. Bireylerin % 46.7'si düşük, %30'u orta, %23.3'ü yüksek düşme riskine sahipti. Berg denge skalası ile düşme indeksi skorları arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmadı. Sonuç: Posturografi kullanılarak ölçülen düşme indeksi, düşme riski yüksek olan bireyleri saptayabilmektedir, bu nedenle bu uygulamanın yaşlılar için gelecek vadeden bir tarama aracı olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Yaşlılarda posturagrafi kullanılarak düşme riskinin değerlendirilmesi
Öz: Introduction: The purpose of the study is to identify the fall risk in a group of elderly subjects by using an objective measurement, posturography. Materials and Method: Thirty volunteers, 65 years or older were enrolled in this study. The subjects with debilitating cardiac or respiratory illness, focal neurological disease, peripheral neuropathy, or musculoskeletal conditions limiting motion were excluded from the study. Balance of the subjects was evaluated by using four plate posturography and the Berg balance scale. Results: The mean age of the participants was 70.4±4.6 years and 50% were women. The mean Berg balance score was 54.5±3.2 and the mean fall index score was 42.1±23.6. 46.7% of the subjects had low, 30.0% had moderate and 23.3% had high risk of falling. No significant correlation was found between Berg balance scale and fall index scores. Conclusion: Fall index measurement by posturography can identify the individuals who have a high risk of falling, and seems to be a promising screening tool for the elderly.
