Abstract

Background: Parkinson Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that can affect gait and balance. For individuals with PD, difficulty with posterior movement patterns often increases their risk of falls. This often further reduces their mobility due to fear of falling.

Purpose: Determine the immediate impact of performing partial squats using whole-body vibration (WBV) versus level surface on backward walking velocity in individuals with PD.

Methods: Twenty-six individuals with PD (Hoehn & Yahr I-IV, median age = 68.3, 13 females) participated in one session of squats on either WBV or level ground. Participants completed the 3-Meter Backward Walk Test (3MBWT) prior to and immediately following the intervention. Thirteen participants performed partial ("mini") squats using WBV on a Galileo® S35 vibration platform in five 60-s sessions with a 1 min seated rest break in between sessions for a total of 10 min. The control group completed the same sequence on level ground without WBV. Results from the two-way mixed ANOVA indicated that the main effect of time was significant, with both control and intervention groups improving 3MBWT scores (F(1,24) = 4.388, p < .001). However, there was no statistically significant interaction between the intervention and time (F(1,24) < 0.001, p = .983) or the main effect of group (F(1,24) = 0.691, p = .414). Both the control and intervention groups yielded small effect sizes d = 0.26 (9.5% change) and d = 0.28 (10.8% change), respectively.

Conclusion: In individuals with PD, performing partial squats led to small improvements in backwards walking velocity, but WBV did not provide additional benefits.

全身振动对帕金森病患者后退行走的直接影响。
背景:帕金森病(PD)是一种进行性神经系统疾病,可影响步态和平衡。对于PD患者来说,后侧运动模式的困难往往会增加他们跌倒的风险。由于害怕摔倒,这通常会进一步降低他们的行动能力。目的:确定局部深蹲使用全身振动(WBV)和水平表面对PD患者后退行走速度的直接影响。方法:26名PD患者(Hoehn & Yahr I-IV,中位年龄= 68.3岁,13名女性)参加了一组深蹲训练,其中深蹲训练在WBV或平地上进行。参与者在干预前和干预后完成了3米后退行走测试(3MBWT)。13名参与者在Galileo®S35振动平台上使用WBV进行部分(“迷你”)深蹲,分5次,每次60秒,每次之间坐着休息1分钟,共10分钟。对照组在平地上不使用WBV完成相同的序列。双向混合方差分析结果显示,时间的主效应显著,对照组和干预组均能改善3MBWT评分(F(1,24) = 4.388, p F(1,24) < 0.001, p = 0.983)或干预组的主效应(F(1,24) = 0.691, p = 0.414)。对照组和干预组的效应值均较小,分别为d = 0.26(变化9.5%)和d = 0.28(变化10.8%)。结论:在PD患者中,进行部分深蹲运动可以小幅改善后退行走速度,但WBV并没有提供额外的好处。

期刊介绍: The aim of Physiotherapy Theory and Practice is to provide an international, peer-reviewed forum for the publication, dissemination, and discussion of recent developments and current research in physiotherapy/physical therapy. The journal accepts original quantitative and qualitative research reports, theoretical papers, systematic literature reviews, clinical case reports, and technical clinical notes. Physiotherapy Theory and Practice; promotes post-basic education through reports, reviews, and updates on all aspects of physiotherapy and specialties relating to clinical physiotherapy.
