Trunk Control, Balance, Gait, Functional Mobility & Fear of Falling in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between trunk control and balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and to compare trunk control, balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy older adults. Balance, an essential motor skill necessary to perform both static and dynamic everyday activities with stability and security, is impaired in people with Alzheimer's disease when compared to cognitively preserved elderlies. Gait and functional mobility disorders are also observed in people with Alzheimer's disease from the early period of the disease. People with Alzheimer's disease tend to fall more often and are more seriously injured from falls than cognitively intact older adults. The annual incidence rate for falling is 60% to 80% for older adults with Alzheimer's disease, over twice the incidence of age-matched cognitively intact older adults. Trunk control is shown among the most important factors that ensure the balance and walking of the individual in different environments and conditions during functional activities. Optimal trunk control relies on adequate somatosensory, motor, and musculoskeletal systems, which are frequently compromised in people with Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, the investigators think that trunk control may be affected in people with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy older adults and may be related to balance, gait, functional mobility and fear of falling.

Clinical Trial Description

The study was carried out with the purpose of investigating the relationship between trunk control and balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and comparing trunk control, balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy older adults. 35 people with Alzheimer's disease and 33 healthy older adults with matching ages and genders were included the study. Trunk control with Trunk Impairment Scale; balance with Berg Balance Scale, Functional Reach Test, One-Leg Standing Test and Five-Repeat Sit-and-Stand Test; gait with Dynamic Gait Index; functional mobility with Timed Up and Go Test; fear of falling with Falls Efficacy Scale-International were evaluated. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
