Abstract

Background: Symptoms seen in Parkinson's Disease (PD) affect the quality of life (QoL) of individuals.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship of QoL with tremor severity and upper limb functionality in individuals with PD.

Methods: Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQ-39) was used to examine the QoL of the participants, electromyography was used to measure the tremor amplitude, Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT) was used to evaluate the upper limb functionality and dynamometer was used to evaluate grip and pinch strength. Resting and postural tremor amplitudes were recorded from both sides of the hand and forearm. The relationship between QoL and other parameters was tested with Spearman Correlation Analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare individuals with and without tremor.

Results: It was obtained that tremor amplitude was significantly related to: activities of daily living (rho = 0.597); emotional well-being (rho = 0.694); stigma (rho = 0.524); social support (rho = 0.595 and 0.559), and communication [rho = 0.532 (right forearm), 0.564 (left forearm), and 0.527 (right hand)] sub-parameters of PDQ-39 (p < .05). The relationship of the grip and pinch strength with the PDQ-39 sub-parameters was significant (p < .05), except for social support and communication. The relationship between NHPT and almost all parameters of PDQ-39 (p < .05), except bodily discomfort and social support, was significant.

Conclusion: It was concluded that future studies focusing on QoL could also consider tremor severity and grip strength as well as dexterity in individuals with PD.

帕金森病患者的生活质量：与功能和震颤严重程度有关吗？一项横断面研究。

背景：帕金森病（PD）的症状会影响患者的生活质量（QoL）：帕金森病（PD）的症状会影响患者的生活质量（QoL）：本研究旨在探讨帕金森病患者的生活质量与震颤严重程度和上肢功能的关系：方法：采用帕金森病生活质量问卷（PDQ-39）调查参与者的 QoL，采用肌电图测量震颤幅度，采用九孔钉试验（NHPT）评估上肢功能，采用测力计评估握力和捏力。记录了手部和前臂两侧的静止和姿势震颤幅度。通过斯皮尔曼相关分析检验了 QoL 与其他参数之间的关系。采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验对有震颤和无震颤的个体进行比较：结果表明，震颤幅度与 PDQ-39 的以下子参数显著相关：日常生活活动（rho = 0.597）、情绪健康（rho = 0.694）、耻辱感（rho = 0.524）、社会支持（rho = 0.595 和 0.559）以及沟通[rho = 0.532（右前臂）、0.564（左前臂）和 0.527（右手）]（p < .05）。握力和捏力与 PDQ-39 子参数的关系显著（p p 结论：结论：未来关注 QoL 的研究还可以考虑震颤严重程度和握力以及 PD 患者的灵活性。
