Učinki vadbe na ravnotežje pri osebi s Parkinsonovo boleznijo : magistrsko delo

Udrih, Maruša (author), Dolenc, Maja (mentor)

Parkinsonova bolezen je kronična nevrološka motnja, ki močno vpliva na ravnotežje in gibalne sposobnosti posameznika. Zaradi raznolikih simptomov in posledic, s katerimi se soočajo osebe s Parkinsonovo boleznijo, ji pravimo tudi bolezen tisočerih obrazov. Med pogostejše motorične simptome uvrščamo tremor, rigidnost, bradikinezijo, motnje ravnotežja in hoje, med nemotorične simptome pa uvrščamo težave s spanjem, depresijo, kognitivne težave in halucinacije. Glavni namen magistrske naloge je bil na osnovi pregledane literature oblikovati štiritedenski kinezioterapevtski program vadbe za izboljšanje ravnotežja pri osebi s Parkinsonovo boleznijo. Program je bil zasnovan s poudarkom na vajah za krepitev mišic spodnjih okončin in stabilizatorjev trupa, na statičnih in dinamičnih ravnotežnih vajah ter razteznih vajah. Za preverjanje učinkov vadbenega programa smo uporabili teste za oceno statičnega in dinamičnega ravnotežja ter vprašalnik za oceno stopnje zaupanja posameznikov pri izogibanju padcem v različnih vsakodnevnih aktivnostih. Rezultati so pokazali izboljšanje statičnega in dinamičnega ravnotežja, medtem ko se samozavest pri opravljanju vsakdanjih opravil in strah pred padci nista bistveno spremenila. Razlog za to bi lahko bilo krajše obdobje kinezioterapevtske obravnave, saj je bila oseba s Parkinsonovo boleznijo v študijo vključena le štiri tedne, kar je omejilo čas za opazovanje dolgoročnih učinkov vadbe. Kljub temu so lahko izsledki magistrskega dela v pomoč osebam s Parkinsonovo boleznijo kot tudi kineziologom in drugim zdravstvenim delavcem, ki želijo s svojim strokovnim znanjem in izkušnjami prispevati k boljši kvaliteti življenja oseb s Parkinsonovo boleznijo.

• Title: Effects Of Exercise On Balance In A Person With Parkinson's Disease

Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological disorder that significantly affects an individual's balance and motor abilities. Due to the diverse symptoms and consequences faced by individuals with Parkinson's disease, it is also known as the disease of a thousand faces. Common motor symptoms include tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, balance and gait disturbances, while non-motor symptoms include sleep problems, depression, cognitive difficulties, and hallucinations. The main aim of the master's thesis was to design a four-week kinesiotherapy exercise program to improve balance in a person with Parkinson's disease, based on the reviewed literature. The program was designed with an emphasis on exercises to strengthen the muscles of the lower limbs and trunk stabilizers, as well as static and dynamic balance exercises and stretching exercises. To assess the effects of the exercise program, we used tests for evaluating static and dynamic balance, as well as a questionnaire to assess the individuals' confidence level in avoiding falls during various daily activities. The results showed an improvement in static and dynamic balance, while confidence in performing daily tasks and fear of falling did not significantly change. The reason for this could be the shorter period of kinesiotherapy treatment, as the person with Parkinson's disease was included in the study for only four weeks, limiting the time to observe the long-term effects of the exercise. Nevertheless, the findings of the master's thesis can be helpful to individuals with Parkinson's disease, as well as kinesiologists and other healthcare professionals who wish to contribute their expertise and experience to improving the quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
