概括
慢性部疼痛的老年人表现出较慢的步行速度和增加的不对称性,当与头部运动行走. 这些发现凸显了老年人部疼痛的步态变化,影响了移动性和平衡.
科学领域:
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
- 生物力学 生物力学
- 神经学 神经学
背景情况:
- 慢性部疼痛 (CNP) 与步态障碍有关,特别是与头部运动相结合时.
- 患有CNP的老年人的步行速度和对称性改变仍未得到充分研究.
- 这项研究重点关注 CNP 和没有 CNP 的老年人头部运动期间的步行表现.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较 CNP 和没有 CNP 的老年人的步行速度和对称性.
- 为了研究头部运动对 CNP 的老年人的步行参数的影响.
- 为了确定受CNP影响的特定步态变量在老年人中.
主要方法:
- 50名老年人 (36名健康人,14名有CNP) 参与了这项研究.
- 使用10米步行测试 (10MWT) 评估了步行表现,其中包括头部运动 (没有,水平,垂直).
- 惯性测量单元捕获了步行速度,LRI,不对称指数和PCI.
主要成果:
- CNP组报告了中度疼痛,轻度残疾和较低的平衡信心.
- CNP组表现出明显较慢的步行速度和较低的LRI,水平和垂直的头部运动.
- 在CNP组中,在头部运动期间观察到增加的步态不对称性和受损的相位协调.
结论:
- 慢性部疼痛显著影响老年人的步行速度和对称性,特别是头部运动.
- 步行参数可以识别 CNP 和轻度残疾的老年人的速度和对称性变化.
- 研究结果表明,对于患有CNP的老年人来说,有针对性的步行干预措施的潜力.

The Effect of Aging on Tissues
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
Alterations in Muscle Tone ll
Alterations in muscle tone are common manifestations of neurological disorders and reflect dysfunction within different nervous system regions. Spasticity, paratonia, and dystonia represent distinct forms of hypertonia, each with unique mechanisms, clinical features, and diagnostic importance.CharacteristicsSpasticity happens from upper motor neuron lesions and is characterized by velocity-dependent resistance to passive movement. Clinical features include:Exaggerated deep tendon reflexesClonus...
Alterations in Muscle Tone lll
Rigidity and myotonia are distinct abnormalities of muscle tone that affect resistance and relaxation during movement. Although both involve altered muscle contraction, they arise from different neurological and muscular mechanisms.CharacteristicsRigidity is characterized by uniform resistance to passive movement across the entire range, independent of speed, affecting flexors and extensors equally. It may appear as lead-pipe rigidity (smooth, constant resistance) or cogwheel rigidity...
