Primerjava časovno merjenega testa vstani in pojdi in L-testa pri starejših odraslih : diplomsko delo

Vene, Neža (author), Rugelj, Darja (mentor), Puh, Urška (reviewer)

Uvod: Časovno merjeni vstani in pojdi test (angl. Timed Up and Go Test – TUG) je funkcijski test, ki se uporablja za ocenjevanje premičnosti in ravnotežja, L-test pa je modificiran TUG, ki je obsežnejši in zahtevnejši. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil primerjati izide TUG in L-testa pri starejših preiskovancih v Domu starejših občanov (DSO) in pri starejših živečih v skupnosti. Metode dela: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 57 preiskovancev (47 žensk, 10 moških), povprečna starost je bila 76,32 (σ 10,35) let. Preiskovanci so bili razdeljeni v tri skupine – starejši odrasli, ki živijo v skupnosti, ter starejši odrasli, ki živijo v DSO (ti so bili razdeljeni v dve skupini - na tiste, ki pri hoji potrebujejo pripomočke, in na tiste, ki jih ne). Izračunali smo vrednosti Pearsonovih koeficientov korelacije (r), Post hoc teste (Bonferroni) in indeks razmerja med testoma za vsakega posameznika. Rezultati: Preiskovanci, ki živijo v skupnosti, so za izvedbo TUG potrebovali povprečno 6,12 s ±1,09 s, preiskovanci iz DSO, ki pri hoji ne uporabljajo pripomočkov, so potrebovali povprečno 10,1 s ± 2,46 s, preiskovanci iz DSO, ki uporabljajo pri hoji pripomočke, pa so potrebovali povprečno 17,03 s ±4,58 s. Preiskovanci, ki živijo v skupnosti, so za izvedbo L-testa potrebovali povprečno 13,87 s ±2,19 s, preiskovanci iz DSO, ki pri hoji ne uporabljajo pripomočkov, so potrebovali povprečno 23,97 s ±6,39 s, preiskovanci, ki uporabljajo pri hoji pripomočke, pa so potrebovali povprečno 37,91 s ±9,61 s. Pokazali smo, da se skupine v času izvedbe TUG in L-testa statistično razlikujejo (p < 0,05). Povezanost med vrednostjo TUG in L-testa je odlična (r = 0,98), kar smo dokazali tudi za vsako posamezno skupino. Razprava in zaključek: TUG in L-test sta dobro merilno orodje za ocenjevanje premičnosti pri starejših odraslih. Testa sta med sabo odlično povezana tako znotraj posamezne skupine, kot pri vseh skupinah med sabo. Čas izvedbe TUG in L-testa se statistično razlikuje med preiskovanci glede na njihove zmožnosti.

• Title: Comparison of Timed Up and Go test and L-test in the elderly : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a functional test used to assess mobility and balance, and the L-test is a modified TUG that is more extensive and demanding. Purpose: The objective of this diploma paper was to compare TUG and L-test in the elderly living in the retirement home and in the elderly living in the community. Methods: 57 elderly respondents (47 women, 10 men) with an average age of 76,32 (10,35) participated in this survey. Respondents were divided into 3 groups: the elderly living in the community and the elderly living in the retirement home (the latter were divided into 2 groups – the elderly in need of walking assistance devices, and the elderly who do not need such devices). We calculated values for Person’s (r), Post hoc tests (Bonferroni) and relationship ratio index tests for each individual. Results: Respondents living in the community needed an average time of 6,12 s (±1,09 s) for the completion of the TUG, the elderly living in the retirement home who do not use any walking assistance devices needed an average time of 10,1 s ±2,46 s, and the elderly living in the retirement home who use walking assistance devices needed an average time of 17,03 s ±4,58 s. Respondents living in the community needed an average time of 13,87 s ±2,19 s for the completion of the L-test, the elderly living in the retirement home who do not use any walking assistance devices needed an average time of 23,97 s ±6,39 s, and the elderly living in the retirement home who use walking assistance devices needed an average time of 37,91 s ±9,61 s. The correlation between the value of the TUG and the L-test is statistically significantly positive (p < 0,0001, r = 0,98), which was also proven for each individual group. The groups were compared with each other and it was established that groups statistically differ (p < 0,05) in the duration of TUG- and Ltests. Discussion and conclusion: TUG and L test are good measuring tools for assessing mobility in elderly. Both tests have excellent interconnection within an individual group and in all groups. The time of performing the TUG and L-test statistically differs between the subjects according to their abilities.
