Abstract

Objective: Motor freezing in Parkinson's Disease (PD) causes loss of balance, gait disturbances and falls due to the sudden occurrence of movement at an unexpected moment. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate balance and gait in Parkinson's patients with motor freezing. Materials and Methods: 10 PD patients with motor freezing, 10 PD patients without motor freezing and 10 healthy individuals with similar age and gender were included in the study.. Demographic characteristics of the individuals were recorded. Tandem Stance Test for static balance assessment; Computed Dynamic Posturography (CDP) and Timed Up and Go Test were used for dynamic balance assessment. The gait was evaluated with the GaitRite electronic walkway and 10 m walking test. Results: A significant difference was found between the groups in terms of static and dynamic balance and walking tests (p 0.05). Conclusion: Motor freezing affects static and dynamic balance and also gait negatively in Parkinson's patients compared to healthy controls. Gait variables were affected more in the group with motor freeze compared to the healthy group than in the group without motor freeze.

Özet

Amaç: Parkinson hastalarında motor donma, hareketin beklenmedik bir anında aniden gerçekleşmesi sebebiyle hastalarda denge kaybı, yürüyüş bozuklukları ve düşmeye neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmamızın amacı, Motor donması olan parkinson hastalarında denge ve yürüyüşü değerlendirmektir. Gereç Yöntem: Çalışmaya, 10 motor donması olan Parkinson hastası, 10 motor donması olmayan hasta ile yaş ve cinsiyet bakımından benzer 10 sağlıklı birey dahil edilmiştir. Bireylerin demografik özellikleri kaydedilmiştir. Statik denge değerlendirmesi için Tandem Duruş Testi; Dinamik denge değerlendirmesi için Bilgisayarlı Dinamik Postürografi (BDP) ve Zamanlı Kalk Yürü Testi (ZKYT) uygulanmıştır. Bireylerin yürüyüşleri ise GaitRite elektronik yürüme yolu ve 10 m yürüme testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında statik ve dinamik denge testleri ile yürüyüş testleri bakımından anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p0,05). Sonuç: Parkinson hastalarında motor donma, sağlıklı kontrollere kıyasla statik ve dinamik denge ile yürüyüşü olumsuz etkilemektedir. Yürüyüş değişkenleri, sağlıklı grupla kıyaslandığında motor donması olan grupta motor donması olmayan gruba göre daha fazla etkilenmiştir
