Abstract

Chronic smoking may lead to postural imbalance and there is the risk of injuries due to instability. Balance is needed to maintain posture. Literature is scarce regarding static and dynamic balance in smokers. Hence, the study aimed to evaluate the static and dynamic balance in single and dual tasks among active smokers and age-matched non-smokers.100 smokers and 100 non-smokers aged 20-50 years were selected by purposive sampling. Static balance was assessed by a single-leg stance (SLS) test. Dynamic balance was assessed by performing the time up and go (TUG) test, and 10m walk test. All the tests were performed in single and dual tasks in both smokers and age-matched non-smokers. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for assessing normality. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups. pvalue ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. There was a significant difference in the SLS test, 10M walk test, and TUG test in single as well as dual tasks. The static and dynamic balance is impaired in chronic smokers in comparison to age-matched non-smokers and seeks further exploration in larger samples.
评价主动吸烟者和非吸烟者在单任务和双任务中的静态和动态平衡
长期吸烟可能导致姿势不平衡,并且由于不稳定存在受伤的风险。保持姿势需要平衡。关于吸烟者的静态和动态平衡的文献很少。因此,本研究旨在评估活跃吸烟者和年龄匹配的非吸烟者在单任务和双任务中的静态和动态平衡。采用有目的抽样的方法,选取20 ~ 50岁吸烟者和非吸烟者各100人。静平衡通过单腿站立(SLS)测试进行评估。动态平衡通过拔腿(time up and go, TUG)测试和10m步行测试进行评估。所有的测试都在吸烟者和年龄匹配的非吸烟者中进行了单任务和双任务。采用Kolmogorov-Smirnov检验评估正态性。采用Mann-Whitney U检验对两组进行比较。p值≤0.05被认为是显著的。SLS测验、10M行走测验、TUG测验在单任务和双任务上均有显著性差异。与年龄匹配的非吸烟者相比,慢性吸烟者的静态和动态平衡受损,需要在更大的样本中进一步探索。
