Abstract

Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and strength with age, which results in a lower gait speed. Decreased gait speed in older individuals with sarcopenia can lead to adverse events such as falls and mortality. It is a major health issue; several studies have investigated gait speed in sarcopenia. However, plantar pressure has not been sufficiently evaluated. Plantar pressure facilitates gait analysis, including gait speed, and plays an important role in preventing adverse events such as falls and mortality. Therefore, the current study aimed to validate gait characteristics, including plantar pressure in community-dwelling older adults with sarcopenia.

研究社区老年人与 "肌肉疏松症 "相关的步态特征：关注足底压力的研究

肌肉疏松症是一种以骨骼肌质量和力量随年龄增长而减少为特征的疾病，会导致步速降低。患有肌肉疏松症的老年人步速降低会导致跌倒和死亡等不良事件。这是一个重大的健康问题；已有多项研究对肌肉疏松症患者的步速进行了调查。然而，对足底压力的评估还不够充分。足底压力有助于步态分析，包括步态速度，并在预防跌倒和死亡等不良事件中发挥重要作用。因此，本研究旨在验证患有肌肉疏松症的社区老年人的步态特征，包括足底压力。
