dc.description.abstract | Ability to walk is one of the main motor activities that allow a man to independently
function in a social setting. The speed at which a person walks is considered the „sixth
sign of vitality“ and is a reliable and sensitive discriminating factor in the prediction
of falls in the elderly; it helps to predict the health status of an individual and possible
hospitalization and mortality.
Determining the functional abilities of the lower extremities in the elderly as a
predictor of falls in relation to the expected age and gender normative values .
In order to assess the functional abilities of the lower extremities “Time Up and Go
Test–TUGT“ was used. The sample included a total of 44 examinees, 24 were male and
20 female examinees. The examinees had between 75-85 years (77,26, SD=2,646). The
research was conducted in June 2014 in a residential care home „Bežanijska kosa“, in
Belgrade, Serbia.
The research showed that the average achievement of the examinees on the TUG test
was 17,77 seconds (SD=4,972). The examinees of the first age group had the achievement
respectively 15,96 and 17,04, while respondents of older age group had the average
achievements respectively 19,60 and 19,48 seconds. A significant effect of the age factor
was found, but no significant effect of the gender factors. Compared to the normative
values, all differences were statistically significant, which means that the examinees had
a higher achievement in all the parameters compared to the expected ones.
According to the results, our examinees belong to the category with a high risk of
falls. | sr |
