Abstract

Objectives: Balance and coordination are more deteriorated in amputee elders, fear of falling and falling rates are higher than healthy elderly. Transtibial amputation (TTA) is an amputation happening due to vascular and non‐vascular causes. The aim of our study is to investigate the risks of walking, balance and falling in patients with TTA and to compare patients with non‐amputee control group (CG) of similar age group. Materials and Methods: 72 patients (37 TTA, 35 CG) were included in the study. While the mean age of the patients was 61 ± 5.06 in the TTA group, 63 ± 5,12 in the CG. Demographic and clinical characteristics of both groups were recorded. In addition, the risk of falling and anxiety‐depression were assessed using Tinetti walking and balance scores. Hypotheses were two‐way, p 0.05). Balance, falls and the presence of fear of falls found a significant difference in favor of CG (p

Özet

Amaç: Ampute yaşlılarda denge ve koordinasyon daha fazla bozulmakta, düşme ve düşme korkususağlıklı yaşlılara göre daha fazla olmaktadır. Diz altı amputasyonu (DAA) vasküler ve vasküler olmayannedenlere bağlı olarak gelişen amputasyonlardır. Çalışmamızdaki amaç DAA’ lı hastalarda yürüme,denge ve düşme risklerini araştırmak ve benzer yaş grubundaki ampute olmayan kontrol grubu (KG)hastalarla karşılaştırmaktır.Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya 72 hasta (37 DAA, 35 KG) dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması DAAgrubu 61±5,06 iken KG yaş ortalaması 63±5,12 idi. Her iki grubun demografik ve klinik özelliklerikaydedildi. Ayrıca denge ve yürümeyi değerlendirmek için tinetti yürüme ve denge skalası kullanılarakdüşme riski ve anksiyete‐depresyon değerlendirildi. Hipotezler çift yönlü olup, p≤0.05 ise istatistikselolarak anlamlı kabul edildi.Bulgular: Demografik veri açısından her iki grup arasında istatistiksel fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Denge,düşme ve düşme korkusunun varlığı KG yaşlılar lehine anlamlı fark bulundu (p
