中文摘要 | 背景:跌倒是威脅高齡者(elderly adults)健康品質的最大危險因子之一,研究及早篩檢出有潛在跌倒的高危險群老人將有助於減低老人跌倒的發生率。但國內利用測力平台(forced plate)系統進行檢測之研究大多為針對不同類型的病患(如:脊髓損傷患者、中風病患等),較無針對一般老年族群進行穩定限度(limit of stability)的檢測。且過去關於高齡者平衡的研究,比較著重在兩腳長時間站立時觀察身體壓力中心(center of pressure)的改變,較少在執行動態承重偏移(weight shifting)時看重心動態參數的改變。目的:比較年輕人與高齡者穩定限制範圍的特性與身體壓力中心參數的差異。方法:徵召18~30歲年輕人(10位),以及符合收案條件的65歲以上高齡者(14位),兩組受試者於測力板上進行動態平衡能力測試。使用Wilcoxon排序和檢定(Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test)來比較年輕人與高齡者身體壓力中心各項參數的差異,顯著差異值p<0.05。結果:年輕人在動態平衡的各項參數上,年輕族群表現都明顯比老年族群來的好(p<0.009)。結論:老年族群與年輕族群相比,無論是在動態移動速度、移動位移與移動面積範圍等方面,表現皆明顯比年輕人較差。 |
英文摘要 | Background: Falls are one of high risk factors to the quality of health of elderly adults. A study with early screening for potential high risk factors for elderly adults is helpful to reduce the incidence of falls. Little research has been done to evaluate elderly adults in terms of limits of stability (LOS). Moreover, regarding elderly adult balance, most focuses have been placed on their feet when standing for long periods of time and looking at the static center of pressure (COP) change; few focuses have been placed on the dynamic parameter changes during weight shifting.Purpose: To compare dynamic balancing abilities between young and elderly adults in terms of LOS and COP parameters.Methods: A total of 24 subjects were recruited who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 10 subjects in the young adult group whose ages ranged between 18-30 years old. The remaining 14 subjects were in the elderly adult group, with ages over 65 years old. A forced plate system was then used to assess the dynamic balance abilities between the two groups. A Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was used to compare the differences between the two groups in terms of COP parameters. The statistical difference was p<0.05.Results: In terms of all dynamic balance parameters, the young adult group was much better than the elderly adult group. (p<0.009)Conclusion: The dynamic balance abilities of the young adult group are better than the elderly adult group in terms of movement speed, movement displacement, and movement area. |
