Abstract

Pain is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life. The quality of life can be affected in patients with Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS) who have pain and restricted shoulder movements. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of the pain on functional status, quality of life and physical activity levels in daily life activities of RCS patients. 40 patients (19-64 ages) with RC were included in the study. Pain severity (Visual Analogue Scale- VAS), upper extremity functional status and disability (Quick-DASH questionnaire), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire- IPAQ) and health related quality of life (Short Form-36- SF-36) were evaluated. Statistical analyzes were made using the SPSS 25.0 program.The cases mean age was 50.40 ± 11.37 and of 26 were female and of 14 were male. In the study, significant relationship was found between the Quick-DASH score and shoulder pain at night, at rest, during activity and during heavy object carrying (p<0.05). It was observed that there were significant negative correlation between SF-36 subtest scores and shoulder pain at night, at rest, activity, and carrying heavy objects (p<0.05). No statistically significant correlation was found between the severity of shoulder pain and the IPAQ result scores (p>0.05). The shoulder pain caused a decrease in functional status and quality of life and had no effect on the level of physical activity.

Rotator Manşet Sendromlu Hastalarda Ağrının Yaşam Kalitesi ve Günlük Yaşam Aktivitelerindeki Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeylerine Etkisi

Abstract

Ağrı yaşam kalitesini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Ağrısı olan ve omuz hareketlerinde kısıtlılık olan Rotator Manşet Sendromu (RMS) hastalarında yaşam kalitesi etkilenebilmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı RMS hastalarının günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde ağrının fonksiyonel durum, yaşam kalitesi ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmaya RM'li 40 hasta (19-64 yaş) dahil edildi. Ağrı şiddeti (Görsel Analog Skala-VAS), üst ekstremite fonksiyonel durumu ve sakatlığı (Quick-DASH anketi), fiziksel aktivite düzeyi (Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-IPAQ) ve sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitesi (Kısa Form-36-SF-36) Değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS 25.0 programı kullanılarak yapıldı. Olguların yaş ortalaması 50.40 ± 11.37 olup, 26'sı kadın, 14'ü erkekti. Araştırmada Quick-DASH skoru ile gece, istirahat, aktivite ve ağır nesne taşıma sırasındaki omuz ağrısı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). SF-36 alt testi puanları ile gece, istirahatte, aktivitede ve ağır cisim taşımada omuz ağrısı arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). Omuz ağrısının şiddeti ile IPAQ sonuç puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadı (p>0,05). Omuz ağrısının fonksiyonel durum ve yaşam kalitesinde azalmaya neden olduğu ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyini etkilemediği görüldü.
