Geriatric Locomotive Syndrome and Related Factors in Older Adults
- Conditions
- Locomotive Syndrome
- Interventions
- Other: geriatric locomotive syndrome
- Registration Number
- NCT06300632
- Lead Sponsor
- Kırıkkale University
- Brief Summary
It has been stated that the results of physical function and physical performance affecting locomotive syndrome in elderly individuals are controversial and studies are still needed. However, no studies have been found examining its relationship with the decrease in physical activity level, decline in cognitive functions, kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and fatigue seen in old age. Early detection of locomotive syndrome risk factors in elderly individuals will help prevent this condition, detect the risk of falling in elderly individuals and increase their quality of life. Based on these deficiencies, it is aimed to examine the relationship between locomotive syndrome and kinesiophobia, physical activity level, physical performance, fatigue and cognitive functions in elderly individuals.
- Detailed Description
It has been reported that problems related to the musculoskeletal system, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis or spondylosis, increase with aging in elderly individuals. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) has defined this condition as locomotive syndrome (LS) in elderly individuals, as a condition of decreased mobility due to deterioration of locomotive organs. LS is a condition of reduced mobility due to deterioration of locomotive organs. It has been stated that the results of physical function and physical performance affecting locomotive syndrome in elderly individuals are controversial and studies are still needed. However, no studies have been found examining its relationship with the decrease in physical activity level, decline in cognitive functions, kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and fatigue seen in old age. Early detection of locomotive syndrome risk factors in elderly individuals will help prevent this condition, detect the risk of falling in elderly individuals and increase their quality of life. Based on these deficiencies, it is aimed to examine the relationship between locomotive syndrome and kinesiophobia, physical activity level, physical performance, fatigue and cognitive functions in elderly individuals.

Group Intervention Description older adults geriatric locomotive syndrome older adults Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) Brief Physical Performance Battery Fatigue Severity Scale Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA)
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale Day 1 It consists of a survey of 25 items, and each item is rated between 0 and 4 points. The total score is the result of the sum of all items ranging from 0 to 100; the higher the score, the greater the physical impairment of the elderly, and 16 points is the cutoff point for locomotive syndrome
Two Step Test Day 1 Two-step testing involves measuring step length for two steps. Individuals are asked to take two steps as long as possible and the longest measurement is recorded
Stand Up Test Day 1 In the stand-up test, the height of the lowest stool at which the individual can stand up from a sitting position with both feet or one leg is recorded. Stools of four heights are used: 40 cm, 30 cm, 20 cm and 10 cm. If the individual manages to hold the final standing position for more than 3 seconds without needing to take any additional steps, they are judged to have completed the trial.
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale Day 1 Individuals' fear of movement (kinesiophobia) will be evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, consisting of 17 items.People receive a total score between 17-68 points. A high score on the scale indicates that the person has a high level of kinesiophobia, that is, the fear of movement.
Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) Day 1 The PASE evaluates physical activity performed over a 1-week time frame. Participation in leisure activities, including walking outside the home, light, moderate, and strenuous sport and recreation, and muscle strengthening were recorded as never, seldom (1-2 days/week), sometimes (3-4 days/week), and often (5-7 days/week) performed. PASE score was stratifi ed in tertiles: 0 to 40 (sedentary), 41 to 90 (light physical activity) and more than 90 (moderate to intense activity).
Short Physical Performance Battery Day 1 It consists of 3 objective tests that evaluate lower body function. These; 2.44 meter walking, getting up from a chair and standing balance test
Fatigue Severity Scale Day 1 Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a scale that evaluates fatigue and consists of 9 questions. Each item is scored between 0 and 7.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) Day 1 The scale includes items that evaluate attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visual and spatial skills, abstract thinking, calculation and orientation dimensions. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 30. A low score indicates decreased cognitive functions
