Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate whether there was any difference in motor behavior of sit to stand activity of elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) compared to elderly individuals without type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis.
Methods: Eighty one elderly individuals, who live in Izmir, Narlıdere Geriatric Home Care Center, accepted to take part in this study. Finally, 59 elderly individuals (type 2 diabetes group consisted of 26 and non-diabetic group consisted of 33 participants) met our inclusion criteria and participated in the study. Sit to stand test was performed by using the NeuroCom Balance Master System (version 8). Weight transfer time, rising index, sway velocity and left-right symmetry during sit to stand activity were assessed by the system.
Results: No significant difference between the DM and the Non-DM group was found for all measured parameters during sit to stand activity (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Diabetic and non-diabetic elderly individuals chose to perform similar motor strategies to perform sit to stand activity.

Key words: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, elderly people, sit to stand activity

Tip 2 Diabetes Mellitus’un yaşlı bireylerde oturmadan ayağa kalkma aktivitesi üzerine etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı Tip 2 diyabet tanısı almış yaşlı bireyler ile diyabet tanısı olmayan yaşlı bireylerin oturmadan ayağa kalkma aktivitesi sırasındaki motor davranışlarını incelemektir.
Yöntem: İzmir, Narlıdere dinlenme ve bakım evinde ikamet eden 81 yaşlı birey çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katıldı. Çalışmaya alınma kriterlerine 59 kişi (26’sı tip 2 diyabetik, 33’ü diyabetik olmayan) uygundu. Oturmadan ayağa kalkma aktivitesi NeuroCom Balance Master System (versiyon 8) ile değerlendirildi. Test içerisinde oturmadan ayağa kalkma aktivitesi boyunca ağırlık aktarım zamanı, ayağa kalkma indeksi, salınım hızı ve sol-sağ simetrisi değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Oturmadan ağaya kalkma aktivitesi boyunca diyabetik ve diyabetik olmayan grup arasında ölçülen motor parametreler arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Diyabetik ve diyabetik olmayan yaşlı bireyler oturmadan ayağa kalkma aktivitesini gerçekleştirmek için aynı motor stratejileri kullanmışlardır.
