Uvod: S staranjem pride do upada spoznavnih sposobnosti in motenj ravnotežja, ki lahko vodijo v padce. Namen: Ugotoviti povezanost spoznavnih sposobnosti in Testom medio-lateralnega korakanja pri stanovalcih doma starejših občanov. Metode dela: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 32 preiskovancev, ki so bili čez dan samostojni, z in brez izkušnje padca. Opravili so test korakanja v medio-lateralni smeri v sedečem in stoječem položaju. Rezultati: Preiskovanci z boljšim dosežkom pri Kratkem preizkusu spoznavnih sposobnosti so v stoječem in sedečem položaju z obema nogama Test medio-lateralnega korakanja opravili hitreje kot preiskovanci z slabšim dosežkom. Ugotovili smo šibko statistično pomembno povezanost KPSS in TMLK pri položaju sede z levo nogo, pri položaju sede z desno nogo ter stoje z levo in desno nogo pa je bila povezanost šibka in na meji statistične pomembnosti. Razprava in zaključek: Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov lahko potrdimo, da je obstoji povezava med spoznavnimi sposobnostmi in testom medio-lateralnega korakanja. Potrebne so nadaljnje raziskave z večjim številom preiskovancev, enakomerno porazdeljenih glede na spol ter raziskave zanesljivosti in veljavnosti testa medio-lateralnega korakanja.

• Title: Correlation between cognitive abilities and execution of Mediolateral step test at nursing home residents : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Aging process results in decline in cognitive function and mobility, that can result in falls. Purpose: Test correlation between cognitive abilities and execution of mediolateral step test at nursing home residents. Methods: 32 functionally independent participants with and without experience of fall were included in our research. Participants performed step test in mediolateral direction in standing and sitting position. Results: Participants with higher score on the Mini mental state exam performed better on the mediolateral step test in standing and sitting position with both legs than participants with lower score on the Mini mental state exam. Correlation between Mini mental state exam and mediolateral step test in sitting and standing position with both legs was weak and significant. Discussion and conclusion: Based on acquired data we can confirm there is a correlation between cognitive abilities and execution of mediolateral step test at nursing home residents. Further research needs to be done with a larger number of participants equally distributed by gender and research to determine validity and reliability of mediolateral step test.
