Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between balance and gait assessments and patient goals in MS patients. Material and Methods: The study included 54 MS patients (40 F, 14 M). Disease severity was assessed by EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale); balance was assessed by Single Leg Stance Test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and Static Posturography; gait was assessed by 10 Metre Walking Test (10MWT) and Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (MSWS-12); and patient goals were assessed by Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). Results: There was a moderate positive correlation between GAS and Single Leg Stance Time (r=0.472; p=0.000), an excellent positive correlation between GAS and BBS (r=0.807; p=0.000), and a low moderate negative correlation between GAS and TUG (r=-0.391; p=0.003). A moderate negative correlation was found between GAS and 10MYT (r=-0.401; p=0.003) and GAS and MSYS-12 (r=-0.571; p=0.000). Conclusion: GAS assessment has been shown to be related to many parameters of balance and gait, especially BBS. We think that GAS evaluation should have an important place in creating treatment plans.

Multipl Skleroz Hastalarında Denge ve Yürüyüş Değerlendirmelerinin Hasta Hedefleri ile İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, Multipl Skleroz hastalarında denge ve yürüyüş değerlendirmelerinin hasta hedefleri ile ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 54 MS hastası (40 Kadın, 14 Erkek) dahil edildi. Hastalık şiddeti EDSS (Genişletilmiş Özürlülük Durum Ölçeği); denge Tek Bacak Duruş Testi, Berg Denge Ölçeği (BDÖ), Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü Testi (ZKYT) ve Statik Posturografi; yürüyüş 10 Metre Yürüme Testi (10MYT) ve Multipl Skleroz Yürüme Skalası-12 (MSYS-12); hasta hedefleri ise Amaca Ulaşma Ölçeği (GAS) ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: GAS ile TBDS arasında orta derecede pozitif ilişki (r=0,472; p<0,001), BDÖ arasında mükemmel pozitif ilişki (r=0,807; p<0,001), ZKYT arasında düşük orta düzeyde negatif ilişki (r=-0,391; p=0,003) bulundu. GAS ile 10MYT (r=-0,401; p=0,003) ve GAS ile MSYS-12 (r=-0,571; p<0,001) arasında orta derecede negatif ilişki bulundu. Tartışma: GAS değerlendirmesinin BDÖ başta olmak üzere, denge ve yürüyüşün birçok parametresi ile ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. GAS değerlendirmesinin tedavi planlarının oluşturulmasında önemli bir yere sahip olması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
