Yaşlılarda yapısal ayak deformitelerinin ayak fonksiyonları üzerine etkisi

Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation only between walking speed, total muscle strength and foot function index (r=0.353-0.499, p0.05).

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine how structural foot problems affected foot function and walking speed in the elderly.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Materials and methods: Thirty nine elderly retirement home residents without significant disease and an average age of 74.36±7.71 (55-91) years were assessed for presence of deformity, the severity-rigidity and symptoms of that deformity, and the number of deformities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine how structural foot problems affected foot function and walking speed in the elderly. Materials and methods: Thirty nine elderly retirement home residents without significant disease and an average age of 74.36±7.71 (55-91) years were assessed for presence of deformity, the severity-rigidity and symptoms of that deformity, and the number of deformities. Subjects were also evaluated for total muscle strength of related muscles, Foot Function Index (FFI) and comfortable walking speed of 100 meters. Correlations between these parameters were investigated. Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation only between walking speed, total muscle strength and foot function index (r=0.353-0.499, p0.05). Conclusion: To provide an insight for the complex nature of elderly foot problems factors like foot pain, nail problems and hyperkeratotic lesions should also be taken into consideration besides structural foot deformities.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, yapısal ayak problemlerinin geriatriklerde ayak fonksiyonu ve yürüme hızını nasıl etkilediğini belirlemek üzere gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Belli bir hastalığı olmayan, ve yaş ortalaması 74.36±7.71 (55-91) yıl olan huzurevinde yaşayan 39 yaşlı üzerinde deformite varlığı, de/ormitenin şiddeti-rijiditesi, semptomları ve deformite sayısı değerlendirildi. Ayrıca olguların ilgili kaslarda kas kuvveti, Ayak Fonksiyon İndeksi (FFI) ve 100 metre yürüyüş hızları değerlendirildi. Bu parametreler arasındaki korelasyon incelendi. Sonuçlar: Sadece yürüme hızı ile toplam kas kuvveti ve ayak fonksiyon indeksi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon bulundu (r: 0.353-0.499, p0.05). Tartışma: Geratriklerde ayak problemlerinin karmaşık doğasını kavrayabilmek için yapısal ayak deformitelerinin yanı sıra ağrı, tırnak problemleri ve hiperkeratotik lezyonlar gibi faktörler de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
