果然!鞋子合不合适,只有脚知道——一项关于鞋子“合不合适”与平衡性、跌倒恐惧的研究 | 护理SCI文献解读
刚看了一篇关于鞋子“合不合适”与平衡性、跌倒恐惧的研究,特意分享给大家。
Maden T, Bayramlar K, Maden C, et al. Investigating the effects of appropriate fitting footwear on functional performance level, balance and fear of falling in older adults: A comparative-observational study[J]. Geriatric Nursing, 2021,42(2):331-335.
探讨合适的鞋子对老年人功能表现水平、平衡和跌倒恐惧的影响:一项比较观察研究

推荐理由有两个:
①该研究中确定了鞋子“合不合适”的参数特征有哪些。(以后买鞋子就有标准了...)
②本研究中使用了配对设计。先使用FAS量表对参与者进行分组为合适组与不合适组,然后再对两组进行相应的功能表现、平衡性和跌倒恐惧的测试。
奥对了,大家去看看文献的前言部分,很有意思。作者提出自己该研究问题的研究意义,相当具有逻辑性~随附摘要~
Abstract摘要
The aim of the study was to assess the characteristics of footwear altogether and to compare the effect of appropriate-fitting and ill-fitting footwear on functional performance, balance, and fear of falling (FoF) in older adults.
Individuals who wore appropriate-fitting (n = 61) or ill-fitting footwear (n = 92) were enrolled in the study.Footwear was evaluated using the Footwear Assessment Scale (FAS). Differences between the groups were analyzed using the MANOVA for scores of balance, performance and fear of falling and Chi-squared test for homogeneity. The Paired t-test was used to compare test scores with or without footwear.
It was concluded that appropriate-fitting footwear improves balance, reduces fear of falling and may affect functional performance positively.
本研究主要是探讨“合适鞋子”的参数特征;同时,比较“合适”与“不合适”鞋子对老年人的功能表现、平衡性和跌倒恐惧的影响。共有153名老人完成了本研究,其中,穿着“合适”鞋子(n = 61)和“不合适”鞋子(n = 92)。
1) 使用鞋类评估量表对鞋子的相关参数进行评定。FAS量表主要是用来评估鞋子的材料、设计(鞋面和鞋底)、弯曲度、宽度等等。以得分30分为界值,超过30分为鞋子合适。
2) 功能表现与平衡性的评估测试(The Timed Up and Go test,TUG):应用TUG评估受试者的行动能力、平衡能力和跌倒风险等。---测试两次。
3) 贝格平衡量表(Berg Balance Scale, BBS)用于评估参与者在进行功能性活动时维持平衡的能力。
4) 跌倒恐惧的评估:使用the Activities-specifific Balance Confifidence scale(ABC)进行评估
采用多元方差分析参与者的平衡、功能表现和跌倒恐惧得分。配对t检验用于比较穿着“合适”与“不合适”鞋子参与者的“合适”得分。
结论是:合适的鞋子可以改善平衡,减少跌倒恐惧,并可能对功能表现有积极的影响。
