This study was performed to investigate the influence of lower limb muscle strength on the walking function of advanced-age patients with diabetes.
In this cross-sectional descriptive study, data were collected from 202 advanced-age patients with diabetes. All patients completed questionnaires, the one-leg stance test, the timed up-and-go test, the 30-s sit-to-stand test, and plantar pressure platform measurements. The patients were divided in two groups according to their lower limb muscle strength: those with declining muscle strength and those with normal muscle strength.
Walking function was significantly abnormal in the patients with declining lower limb muscle strength. The gait trajectories were abnormal, mainly with respect to a shortage of driving force.
The lower limb muscle strength can affect the static balance and dynamic balance in advanced-age patients with declining lower limb muscle strength.
本研究旨在探讨下肢肌肉力量对高龄糖尿病患者行走功能的影响。
本横断面描述性研究共纳入 202 例高龄糖尿病患者。所有患者均完成了问卷调查、单腿站立测试、计时起立-行走测试、30 秒坐-站测试和足底压力平台测量。根据下肢肌肉力量将患者分为两组：肌肉力量下降组和肌肉力量正常组。
下肢肌肉力量下降的患者行走功能明显异常。步态轨迹异常，主要表现为驱动力不足。
下肢肌肉力量可影响下肢肌肉力量下降的高龄糖尿病患者的静态平衡和动态平衡。
