脑小血管病相关的步态、平衡障碍研究进展

Advances in the Study of Gait and Balance Disorders Associated with Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

脑小血管病(CSVD)是一组复杂的临床病理综合征,其异质性较强,是影响我国老年人生活质量的主要疾病之一。目前关于CSVD相关认知障碍的研究较多,步态、平衡障碍的研究相对较少,其引起的意外跌倒风险增加,随之而来的不良预后及并发症增多,造成的家庭经济负担也随之加重,是当今社会重点关注的健康问题。本综述全面涵盖近年来CSVD相关的步态、平衡障碍的研究进展,旨在为临床早期识别及后期的治疗提供一定的帮助。

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a group of complex clinicopathologic syndromes with high heterogeneity, and it is one of the major diseases affecting the quality of life of the elderly in China. Currently, there are more studies on CSVD-related cognitive impairment and relatively few studies on gait and balance disorders. However, it can cause an increased risk of accidental falls, the consequent increase in poor prognosis and complications, and the resulting economic burden on the family are key health concerns in today’s society. This review comprehensively covers the research progress of CSVD-related gait and balance disorders in recent years, aiming to provide some help for early clinical identification and later treatment.
