概括
步行门测试 (STT) 具有方向敏感评估 (STT-DSE) 可以区分老年成人摔倒者和非摔倒者. 这种反应平衡评估对预防跌倒的策略有很大的希望.
科学领域:
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
- 生物力学 生物力学
- 康复科学 康复科学 康复科学
背景情况:
- 对外部干扰的有效反应对于预防老年人跌倒至关重要.
- 步骤值测试 (STT) 评估反应平衡,但其区分失败者和非失败者的能力需要进一步验证.
研究的目的:
- 评估STT在区分老年成年堕落者和非堕落者方面的区分有效性.
- 通过检查其与其他相关评估的相关性来评估STT的融合有效性.
主要方法:
- 36名老年人 (平均年龄为80岁),有或没有跌倒史,参与了这项研究.
- 参与者在扰动跑步机上进行STT,表面扰动的幅度越来越大.
- 使用了两个评估策略:全步数评估 (STT-ACE) 和方向敏感评估 (STT-DSE). 使用接收器操作特征 (ROC) 和曲线下的面积 (AUC) 分析了差异性准确性.
主要成果:
- 该STT-DSE显著区分了落者和非落者 (p=0.033) 具有可接受的区分精度 (AUC=0.72).
- STT-ACE和其他常见的移动性评估没有显示群体之间的显著差异,并且具有较低的歧视性准确性 (AUC=0.53-0.68).
- STT-DSE证明了强大的融合有效性,有92%的假设关联得到证实.
结论:
- STT,特别是在使用STT-DSE时,显示了作为一个有效的工具来区分老年成年人堕落者和非堕落者的潜力.
- 建议使用STT-DSE,而不是STT-ACE,因为它在评估老年人反应平衡时具有更高的区分和融合有效性.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
395
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
367
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...
