Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, non-spesifik bel
ağrısı (NSBA) olan yaşlılarda yürüyüş parametreleri ve ağrı şiddeti arasındaki
ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Gözlemsel bu çalışmaya, 17
NSBA olan yaşlı (yaş ≥ 65 yıl) birey katıldı. Demografik ve klinik bilgiler
kaydedildi. Ağrı şiddeti Vizuel Analog Skala (VAS) ile değerlendirildi. Yürüyüş
parametreleri (yürüme hızı, adım döngüsü, adım uzunluğu ve ambulasyon indeksi),
altı dakika boyunca kişinin rahat yürüme hızına göre ayarlanmış bir koşu bandı
ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: VAS skoru ile yürüme hızı (r =
-0.517, p = 0.034) ve ambulasyon indeksi (r = -0.496, p = 0.043) arasında
ilişki vardı. VAS skoru ile adım uzunluğu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
bir ilişki yoktu (p> 0.05).

Sonuç: NSBA olan yaşlılarda ağrı şiddeti
ile yürüme parametreleri arasında negatif bir ilişki vardı. NSBA olan
yaşlılarda ağrı şiddetinin artması yürüyüşü sınırlandırabilir.

Gait Parameters and Pain Severity in Elderly with Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Öz

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship
between gait parameters and pain severity in elderly with non-specific low back
pain (NSLBP).

Material and Methods: Seventeen older adults
(age ≥ 65 years) with NSLBP participated in this cross-sectional study. The
demographic and clinic information was recorded. Pain severity was assessed by
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The gait parameters (walking speed, step cycle, step
length, ambulation index and, walking distance) were assessed by a motor-driven
treadmill adjusted to the subject’s comfortable walking speed during six
minute.

Results: There was a relationship between the VAS
score and walking speed (r = -0.517, p =0.034), ambulation index (r = -0.496, p
=0.043). There was no statistically significant relationship between VAS score
and step length (p> 0.05).

Conclusions: There was a negative
correlation between the pain severity and gait parameters in elderly with NSLBP.
Increased pain severity in the elderly with NSBA may limit walking.
