Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of rheumatoid arthritis on postural balance and the risk of falls. Methods: A total of 70 sobjects were recruited for the study, including 35 with RA (11 men, 24 women) and 35 healthy controls (16 men, 19 women). Patients were evaluated with the Biodex Stability System in terms of balance and risk of falling. Results: The average age of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis 46.47 ± 9.47 years, mean age of the control group was 42.97 ± 9.12 years. The mean age and body mass index of the participants did not significantly differ between groups (p=0.129, p=0.207, respectively). When groups were evaluated in terms of Overall Stability Index (OSI), Antero-Posterior Stability Index (APSI), evaluations showed that RA patients test scores were statistically higher than control group (respectively, p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Romatoid Artritin denge ve düşme riski üzerine olan etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 70 olgu dahil edildi; bireylerin 35i Romatoid artrit (11 erkek, 24 kadın), 35i ise sağlıklı gönüllülerden (16 erkek, 19 kadın) oluşmakta idi. Hastalar ve sağlıklı gönüllüler denge ve düşme riski açısından Biodekx Denge Sistemi (BDS) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Romatoid Artritli hastaların yaş ortalaması 46.47±9.47 yıl, kontrol grubunun ise 42.97±9.12 yıl idi. Gruplar yaş ve vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) açısından değerlendirildiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (sırasıyla, p=0.129, p=0.207). Gruplar Genel Stabilite İndeksi (GSİ) ve Antero-Posterior Stabilite İndeksi(APSİ) açısından değerlendirildiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edildi (sırasıyla, p
