Abstract

Introduction: Age-related neural and sensory deteriorations and decline of the musculoskeletal systems affect balance and increase the risk of fall. Our objective in this study is to determine how balance and the risk of fall are affected by increasing age, and search the role of trunkmuscle strength on balance.Materials and Method: A total of 90 female voluntary participants were divided into theage groups of 20-39, 40-59 and >=60 years (n = 30 for each group). Static balance abilities andthe fall risks of the subjects were determined using a computer-aided static posturography device and their trunk muscle strength at 60°/s and 120°/s were assessed using the isokinetic dynamometer equipment.Results: When the 20-39 age groups are compared with 40-59 and >=60 age groups regarding the balance measurements, higher index values at low and medium frequency oscillationswere detected. Assessment of the correlation between age and Fourier indexes showed that more balance scores were found to deteriorate with increasing age. The deterioration in the balance parameters was observed to be correlated with the trunk flexor and extensor muscle strength,reducing with increasing age.Conclusion: It was determined that static balance parameters tend to deteriorate and therisk of falls increases with increasing age. The decreasing trunk muscle strength was found to berelated to the decline in balance ability and an increased risk of falling.

Özet

Giriş: Yaşla ilişkili nöral, sensoriyal ve/veya kas iskelet sistemlerindeki bozulmalar dengeyi etkilemekte ve düşme riskini arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; artan yaşla birlikte dengenin ve düşme riskinin nasıl etkilendiğini saptanması ve gövde fleksör ve ekstansör kas kuvvetinin denge üzerindeki rolünün araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaş dağılımı 20-39, 40-59, 60 yaş ve üzerinde olan üç yaş grubundan, her gruptan 30'ar kişi olmak üzere toplam 90 kadın gönüllü çalışmaya alınmıştır. Katılımcıların statik denge yetenekleri ve düşme riskleri bilgisayar destekli statik postürografi cihazı, 60 ve 120 derece/ saniyedeki gövde ekstansör ve fleksör kas kuvveti izokinetik dinamometre cihazı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Denge ölçümlerinde 20-39 yaş grubu 40-59 ve 60 yaş ve üzeri grupları ile karşılaştırıldığında düşük ve orta salınım frekanslarda yüksek indeks değerleri saptanmıştır. Yaş ve Fourier indeks değerleri arasındaki korelasyonu değerlerlendirildiğinde ilerleyen yaşla birlikte daha fazla denge skorunda bozulma olduğu görülmüştür. Denge parametrelerindeki bu bozulmanın yaşla birlikte azalan gövde fleksör ve ekstansör kas kuvveti ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: İlerleyen yaşla birlikte statik denge parametrelerinin bozulma eğilimde olduğu ve düşme riskinde artış olduğu saptanmıştır. Azalan gövde kas gücünün azalan denge kabiliyeti ve düşme riskinde artış ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
