The purposes of this study were to describe the movement patterns of middle-aged adults when rising from a bed and to determine whether there are age-related differences in movement patterns across the third through fifth decades of age.
Ninety-three adults (30 men, 63 women), ranging in age from 30 to 59 years, participated in the study.
The subjects were videotaped during 10 trials of rising from a bed. Subjects comprised three age groups, as defined by the decades of the thirties, forties, and fifties. Movement patterns for four body regions were used to classify the videotaped performances. The incidence of each movement pattern was determined for each decade and graphed.
Subjects in their thirties differed from older subjects in movement patterns used to rise from a bed. Movement pattern incidence varied across age groups for each body region. The movement patterns of one body region predominated in reverse order of a previously proposed developmental sequence.
Results indicate physical therapists should consider the patient's age when selecting movement patterns to teach.
本研究旨在描述中年成年人从床上起身时的运动模式，并确定在30岁至59岁的第三至第五个十年中，运动模式是否存在与年龄相关的差异。
93名成年人（30名男性，63名女性）参与了本研究，年龄范围为30至59岁。
受试者在从床上起身的10次试验过程中被录像。受试者按年龄分为三个年龄组，分别为三十多岁、四十多岁和五十多岁。使用四个身体部位的运动模式对录像表现进行分类。确定每个十年中每种运动模式的发生率并绘制图表。
三十多岁的受试者与年龄较大的受试者在从床上起身所使用的运动模式上存在差异。每个身体部位的运动模式发生率在不同年龄组之间有所不同。一个身体部位的运动模式以与先前提出的发育顺序相反的顺序占主导地位。
结果表明，物理治疗师在选择要教授的运动模式时应考虑患者的年龄。
