This study aims to compare the changes of Timed Up and Go (TUG) and its imagined version (iTUG) after CSF tapping between patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and its mimics. TUG and iTUG were performed before and 24 h after CSF tapping in 117 patients (75.8 ± 6.9 years; 35% female) with suspicion of iNPH (68 iNPH and 49 mimics). Mental imagery of locomotion was modified after CSF tapping in iNPH patients, but not in the mimics.
本研究旨在比较特鲁格测试(TUG)及其想象版本(iTUG)在特发性正常压力脑积水(iNPH)患者及其类似物经腰穿脑脊液引流后变化的差异。对怀疑患有 iNPH 的 117 例患者(75.8±6.9 岁,女性占 35%)进行了 TUG 和 iTUG 测试,分别在腰穿脑脊液引流前和 24 小时后进行。iNPH 患者在腰穿脑脊液引流后对运动的想象发生了改变,但类似物患者则没有。
