to know the relationship between the sensory function, gait ability, and cognitive function with dependency in older adults.
a descriptive cross-sectional design, 146 older adults took part.
Snellen chart, Audiometer, Stereognosia tests, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, basic aromas and flavors, GAITRite system, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, the Barthel Index, and the Lawton and Brody Index.
sensory function, cognitive function and gait explain 25% dependence on basic activities of daily life and 21% dependence on instrumental activities of daily life. The variables that influence dependence on basic activities were taste (p=.029), gait speed (p=.009), cadence (p=.002) and step length (p=.001) and, in instrumental activities, gait speed (p=.049), cadence (p=.028) and step length (p=.010).
gait speed, cadence and stride length are variables that influence both dependence on basic and instrumental activities of daily life.
了解老年人的感觉功能、步态能力和认知功能与依赖程度之间的关系。
采用描述性横断面设计,146名老年人参与。
斯内伦视力表、听力计、实体觉测试、Semmes-Weinstein单丝、基本香气和味道、GAITRite系统、蒙特利尔认知评估测试、巴氏指数以及Lawton和Brody指数。
感觉功能、认知功能和步态可解释25%的日常生活基本活动依赖以及21%的日常生活工具性活动依赖。影响日常生活基本活动依赖的变量有味觉(p = 0.029)、步速(p = 0.009)、步频(p = 0.002)和步长(p = 0.001);影响日常生活工具性活动依赖的变量有步速(p = 0.049)、步频(p = 0.028)和步长(p = 0.010)。
步速、步频和步长是影响日常生活基本活动和工具性活动依赖程度的变量。
