Résumé : |
Objectives To examine (1) the effect of cognitive ability on balance confidence and falls, (2) the relationship of balance confidence and falls with quantitative measures of gait, and (3) measures that predict falls, in people with essential tremor (ET). Design Cross-sectional study. Setting General community. Participants People with ET (n=132) and control subjects (n=48). People with ET were divided into 2 groups based on the median score on the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination: those with lower cognitive test scores (ET-LCS) and those with higher cognitive test scores (ET-HCS). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Six-item Activities of Balance Confidence (ABC-6) Scale and falls in the previous year. Results Participants with ET-LCS had lower ABC-6 scores and a greater number of falls than those with ET-HCS (P<.05 for all measures or control subjects quantitative gait were significantly correlated with abc-6 score and falls. speed significant predictors of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that associated moderate sensitivity specificity in identifying fallers.> Conclusions People with ET-LCS have impaired gait and report lower balance confidence and a higher number of falls than their counterparts (ET-HCS) and than control subjects. We have identified assessments that are easily administered (gait speed, ABC-6 Scale) and are associated with falls in ET. |
