Objective
To study gait function among individuals with spina bifida (SB) aged 50 years or older. Design A cross-sectional study conducted in 2017. Setting Home-dwelling participants from all regions in Norway. Participants Individuals between the ages of 51 and 76 years (N=26; 16 women) categorized as independent walkers (n=9), walkers with aids (n=10) and nonwalkers (n=7). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Questionnaire, pain assessment, anthropometry, Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I), objective gait analysis, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and timed Up and Go (TUG). Results Walking speed correlated with SB severity (ρ=.59; P=.008). Individuals who walked slower than 0.81 m/s had a higher body mass index (BMI) than those who walked faster (P=.008). Independent walkers walked slower than healthy age-matched walkers (P=.046); spatiotemporal variables showed that this was owing to shorter steps rather than cadence. The mean TUG was 10.6±2.6 seconds in independent walkers and 20.2±6.5 in walkers with aids (P<.01 the mean was meters in independent walkers and with aids pain intensity rating scale but difference not statistically significant. fes-i significantly lower among than> Conclusions Participants commonly experienced an early onset deterioration in gait function, and walking speed was influenced by SB severity and BMI. This highlights the importance of early monitoring and weight management during follow-up for SB. |
