Abstract

Objectives: Trunk impairments in Parkinson’s patients occur in different ways and negatively affects the rehabilitation processes of the patients.The aim of the study was to examine the relationship of trunk impairment with disease severity and quality of life in Parkinson’s patients.
Materials and Methods: Twenty seven Parkinson’s patients (13 F, 14 M) were included in the study. Disease severity was assessed with the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, trunk involvement with the Trunk Impairment Scale, and quality of life with the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39.
Results: As a result of the study; low-moderate correlation was found between trunk impairment and disease severity (r=-0.39, p<0.05). A good correlation was found between trunk impairment and quality of life (r=-0.64, p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between disease severity and quality of life (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Trunk impairment was found to be associated with disease severity and quality of life in Parkinson’s patients is an important result in terms of drawing attention to the importance of the body. These results suggest that more focus should be placed on the trunk in both assessment and treatment in Parkinson diseases rehabilitation.

Parkinson Hastalarında Gövde Bozukluğunun Hastalık Şiddeti ve Yaşam Kalitesi ile İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Parkinson hastalarında gövde bozukluğu, farklı şekillerde ortaya çıkarak hastaların rehabilitasyon süreçlerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, Parkinson hastalarında gövde bozukluğunun hastalık şiddeti ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisini incelemekti.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 27 Parkinson hastası (13 K, 14 E) dahil edildi. Hastalık şiddeti; Birleşik Parkinson Hastalığı Derecelendirme Ölçeği, gövde bozukluğu; Gövde Bozukluk Ölçeği, hastaların yaşam kaliteleri ise Parkinson Hastalığı Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi-39 ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonucunda; gövde bozukluğu ile hastalık şiddeti arasında düşük/orta derecede korelasyon bulundu (r=-0,39, p<0,05). Gövde bozukluğu ile yaşam kalitesi arasında iyi derecede korelasyon bulundu (r=-0,64, p<0,05). Hastalık şiddeti ile yaşam kalitesi arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Parkinson hastalarında gövde bozukluğunun, hastalık şiddeti ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkili bulunmuş olması; gövdenin önemine dikkat çekilmesi açısından önemli bir sonuçtur. Bu sonuçlar, Parkinson hastalığı rehabilitasyonunda hem değerlendirme, hem de tedavide gövdeye daha fazla odaklanılması gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.
