Résumé : |
Objective To investigate whether fall rates are constant across levels of mobility limitations. Design Secondary analysis of baseline assessments from a stratified randomized controlled trial. Setting Community. Participants Persons with multiple sclerosis (N=365) were divided into 5 groups based on the mobility section of the Guy's Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS): no walking impairment (n=82); impaired walking, no aid (n=87); unilateral support (n=76); bilateral support to walk (n=78); or occasional wheelchair user (n=42). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Self-reported fall history (ie, retrospective) in the preceding 3 months. Results One hundred twenty-four persons in the overall sample reported falling in the last 3 months (fall prevalence, 33.97%). Of the total sample, 17.8% reported 2 or more falls in the last 3 months. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant difference in the proportion of fallers across GNDS categories (χ2=42.64, P<.001 post hoc analysis revealed that the group who walked with bilateral support had greatest proportion of fallers while without walking impairment lowest an examination recurrent as a function found there were more in but used no aid relative to other groups.> Conclusions The current findings highlight that fall rates including recurrent fall prevalence are not uniform across mobility aid categories in persons with MS. Those using bilateral assistance for gait have the highest prevalence of fallers, and those with walking limitations and not yet using an aid had the greatest prevalence of multiple falls. |
