Razlika med spoloma in ponovljivost medio-lateralnega testa stopanja : raziskovalno delo

Poje, Marina (author), Jakovljević, Miroljub (mentor)

Uvod: Razmerja med padci, ravnotežjem in hojo so zapletena, zato so razvili številne teste ravnotežja in hoje, da bi z njimi napovedali tveganje za padce. Namen: Ugotoviti razliko med spoloma, med dominantno in nedominantno nogo, med položajema in ponovljivost medio-lateralnega testa stopanja. Metode dela: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 60 (30 žensk, 30 moških) mladih zdravih preiskovancev. Opravili so test stopanja v medio-lateralni smeri, v sedečem in stoječem položaju. Pridobljene podatke smo statistično obdelali. Rezultati: Moški so v primerjavi z ženskami hitrejši oziroma so dosegli boljše rezultate. Vrednosti ICC za posameznika so pokazale zadovoljivo zanesljivost. Dominanca uda pomembno vpliva na izvedbo testa, predvsem v stoječem položaju. Razprava in sklep: Na podlagi rezultatov lahko govorimo o dobri zanesljivosti medio-lateralnega testa stopanja. Dodatna testiranja bi bilo dobro opraviti predvsem glede dominance uda.

• Title: Medio-lateral step test gender difference and repeatability : research work

Abstract

Introduction: Relation between falls, balance and walking are complex. For this reason, many balance tests as well as walk tests were developed – in order to predict the risks of falling. Purpose: The purpose of this final thesis is to determine differences between genders, between dominantly and non-dominantly extremity, between positions and repeatability of the medio-lateral step test. Methods: Research included 60 younger subjects who performed the test of stepping in the medio-lateral direction in a sitting and standing position. The data obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: In comparison with women, men were faster and have shown better results. ICC values for individual showed satisfactory reliability. Dominance of the leg has a significant impact on the execution of the test, especially in an upright position. Discussion and conclusion: Based on the results, we can speak about the reliability of the medio-lateral stepping test. However, the dominance of the extremity should be a subject of further research.
