    Comparison of gait speed, dynamic balance, and dual-task balance performance according to kinesiophobia level in older adults
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Kocaman, Ayse Abit; Arslan, Saniye Aydogan
    PurposeThe presence of kinesiophobia was identified in older adults. Studies have examined the effects of kinesiophobia in older adults with chronic pain. Studies examining the effect of kinesiophobia on gait and balance performance in older adults without pain are insufficient. The aim of this study was to compare gait speed, dynamic balance, dual-task balance performance according to kinesiophobia level in community dwelling older adults without pain.Materials and methodsSeventy-five older adults were included. The socio-demographic data (age, height, weight, fall history, etc.) was recorded. Older adults were divided into two groups based on Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale scores. Scores below 37 were grouped as low level, scores above 37 were grouped as high level. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE), gait speed test, modified Four Square Step Test (mFSST), Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test, dual-mFSSt test (additional cognitive and motor task) were applied for dual-task balance performance.ResultsThirty-six participants(mean age 70.58 +/- 5.59 years) had low kinesiophobia, the other 39 individuals(mean age70.94 +/- 7.45 years) had high kinesiophobia. The age, gender, body mass index, cognitive status, and fall history were similar between groups (p > 0.05). The participants with low kinesiophobia were found to have better gait speed, dynamic balance, dual-task balance performance (p < 0.001).ConclusionThis study results showed that the presence of high level of kinesiophobia affects gait speed, dynamic balance, dual-task balance performance, and dual-task cost in older adults. Therefore, a high level of kinesiophobia can lead to falls. It may be important to investigate the effects of kinesiophobia in older adults.

    Comparison of Physical Activity, Exercise Barriers, Physical Performance, and Fall Risks in Frail and Nonfrail Older Adults
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Karabulut, Demet Gozacan; Sertel, Meral; Yumin, Eylem Tutun; Kocaman, Ayse Abit; Tarsuslu, Tulay
    Objectives:The present research aimed to identify the difference between physical activity, physical performance, balance, fall risk, and exercise barriers in frail and nonfrail older adults. Methods:One hundred nineteen voluntary individuals older than 65 years and living in Kirikkale were enrolled in the research. The Clinical Frailty Scale was employed to evaluate the frailty level of the individuals included in the study. In line with the data obtained after the evaluation, individuals were separated into 2 groups as frail and nonfrail individuals. Exercise barriers were evaluated with the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS), physical activity level was evaluated with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), lower extremity physical performance was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test, and fall risk was assessed with the Self-Rated Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ). Results:Ninety-three of the individuals enrolled in the study were found to be nonfrail and 26 to be frail older adults. The mean age of the individuals in the nonfrail group was 70.36 +/- 6.10 years, and the mean age of the individuals in the frail group was 76.53 +/- 7.37 years. In the statistical analysis, the difference was revealed between the groups in terms of the exercise barriers subscore, EBBS total score, PASE leisure activity score, PASE total score, FRQ total score, and SPPB total result (P < .05). In the correlation analysis, there was a negative correlation between the frailty scale score and SPPB and a positive correlation between the frailty scale score and FRQ in nonfrail older adults (P < .05). However, there was a positive correlation between the frailty scale score and exercise barriers subscore, EBBS and FRQ total scores, and a negative correlation between the PASE leisure activities, work activities and PASE total score, and SPPB score in frail individuals (P < .05). Conclusions:Our results demonstrated that the physical activity levels of frail older adults were poorer, they had a higher fall risk, and their activity performance, including the lower extremity, was poorer than that of nonfrail older adults.

    Difference and relation between balance, physical fitness and quality of life in retired people living in different geographical regions of Turkey
    (2019) Kocaman, Ayse Abit; Meriç, Aydın; Kırdı, Nuray
    Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship and difference between balance, physical fitness and the quality of lifein retired people living in different geographical regions of Turkey.Material and Methods: For balance evaluation Berg Balance Scale, for physical fitness evaluation Senior Fitness Test (Chair StandTest, Arm Curl Test, 2-Minute Step Test, Chair Sit-and-Reach Test, Back Scratch Test and 8-foot Up-and-Go Test) for quality of lifeevaluation Short Form (36) Health Survey were administered to 155 retired individuals from seven geographical regions of Turkey(Antalya, Gaziantep, Elazığ, Eskişehir, İstanbul, İzmir, Samsun) For statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance and Spearman’scorrelation analysis were used.Results: A total of 155 individuals aged between 55 and over were included in the study. The mean age of the individuals was64.235.86 years. The results of Berg Balance Scale showed statistically significant differences (p0.05) both between balancescore and 8-foot Up-and-Go Test scores in Eskişehir and between the balance score and the results of the Arm Curl Test in Antalya(p0.05). There were no significant differences between regions in the results of the SF-36 assessment of quality of life. A significantpositive correlation between Berg Balance Scale score and the scores of Chair Stand, Arm Curl and 2-Minute Step Tests was recorded.Furthermore, Berg Balance Score and 8-foot Up-and-Go score were found to present a negative correlation.Conclusion: Aging and differences between geographic regions in which individuals live cause deterioration in balance and thissituation effects physical fitness. Although participants had different lifestyles, the fact that our evaluation indicated a lack ofdifference in the quality of life assessment results was pleasing.

    Validity and Reliability of The 3-Meter Backward Walk Test in Individuals with Stroke
    (ELSEVIER, 2021) Kocaman, Ayse Abit; Arslan, Saniye Aydogan; Ugurlu, Kubra; Kirmaci, Zekiye Ipek Katirci; Keskin, E. Dilek
    Objectives: The 3-m backward walk test (3MBWT) is used to evaluate neuromuscular control, proprioception, protective reflexes, fall risk and balance. The aim of our study was to reveal the test-retest reliability and validity of the 3MBWT in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 41 stroke patients [age 59 (35-78) years]. 3MBWT, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) were applied to the patients. The second evaluation (retest) was carried out by the same physiotherapist two days following the first evaluation (test) in order to measure test-retest reliability. Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.974 (excellent). For intra-rater agreement, the ICC values in the individual test were 0.985. The SEM value was 1.11 sec, the MDC value was found to be 1.57 sec. A moderate correlation was revealed between the 3 m-backward walking speed and BBS (r: -0.691, p: 0.001) and TUG (r: 0.849, p: 0.001). Conclusions: The 3MBWT was observed to be valid and reliable in stroke individuals. It is an effecive and reliable tool for measuring dynamic balance and falls in stroke.

    Validity, Reliability, and Responsiveness of the Dubousset Functional Test in Older Adults
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Kocaman, Ayse Abit; Sertel, Meral; Arslan, Saniye Aydogan
    Objective:The aim of our study was to examine the test-retest reliability and validity of the Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) in older adults. Methods:The DFT, 3-m Backward Walk Test (3MBWT), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) were administered to 80 older adults. Results:Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values were between 0.819 and 0.965 (excellent agreement). A correlation was found between DFT parameters and the TUG test, 3MBWT, and POMA scores. A low correlation was found between the TUG test and 3MBWT with the dual-task test; no correlation was determined between the POMA scores with the dual-task test. Conclusion:It was concluded that the DFT is a valid and reliable test for older adults.
