老年人跌倒与平衡能力下降的相关测试指标

The correlation between the balance function of the elderly and their falls

目的:研究老年人跌倒与平衡能力下降的相关测试指标。方法:对189名老年受试者进行电脑化动态平衡仪(equitest)感觉整合能力平衡总分测试;同时还分别进行平衡能力简单测试方法,闭目原地踏步、平衡木上行走、起立-走、闭眼单足站立、强化Romberg检查、垂直X书写、改良Wolfson、前庭步的测试。结果:动态平衡仪感觉整合能力平衡总分、闭目原地踏步、强化Romberg检查的测试、平衡木上行走、垂直X书写测试、改良Wolfson测试前、后测试,结果表明老年人平衡能力的下降与老年人跌倒显著相关(P<0.05)。结论:动态平衡仪感觉整合能力平衡总分、闭目原地踏步、强化Romberg检查的测试、平衡木上行走、垂直X书写测试、改良Wolfson测试前、后测试方法,可以用来作为老年人与平衡下降相关的跌倒预测指标。

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the balance function of the elderly and their falls.Method:The tests of equitest,vestibular stepping,walking on a balance bar,getting up-going,standing on one leg with the eyes closed,romberg,vertical X writing,improved wolfson test,gait during ten step were administered to189elders.Result:The results of the tests of equitest,vestibular stepping,romberg,walking on a balance bar,vertical X writing,and improved Wolfson test all indicated that the declining of the balance function and falling risk rate is related significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion:The tests of equitest,vestibular stepping,romberg,walking on a balance bar,vertical X writing,and improved Wolfson test can be utilized to predict the falling risk of the aged.
