Brief Summary

In this study, Kinesiophobia, Balance, Falling, Walking Speeds of Elderly People with Cognitive Frailty with Alzheimer's Dementia, Elderly with Physical Frailty and Healthy Elderly Individuals will be compared.

Conditions

Alzheimer Disease; Frail Elderly Syndrome

Keywords

Accidental Falls; Alzheimer Disease; Frail Elderly; Frailty; Kinesiophobia; Postural Balance; Walking Speed

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Berg Balance Scale

  It is a scale consisting of 14 tests that measure the ability to maintain balance during different positions, postural changes and movement.The assessment is based on the individual's ability to perform each test independently and/or within a specified time or distance.Grading is made between 0 and 4 points. It is expressed as 0 = unable, 4 = normal performance. The highest score is 56.0 to 20 points; indicates that the person is wheelchair dependent and has a 100% risk of falling.Between 21-40 points; It indicates that the person can walk with assistance as there is a risk of falling.between 41-56 points; states that they can ambulate independently with very little risk of falling. It was designed to evaluate the risk of falling in geriatrics.

• Falls efficacy scale(Tinetti)

  Tinettti et al. can be measured, the person's activities of daily living (for example, cleaning the house, getting dressed, doing simple shopping, etc.) 10-item questionnaire to evaluate the efficacy level of elderly individuals by looking at their safety. They developed the Tinetti Fall Efficiency Scale.How confident are you that you are doing the following activities without falling, while performing daily life activities in 10 different activities "on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 is very confident and 10 is not confident at all?' he does the questioning.Adding the scores gives a total score of 10 (low fall-related activity) to 100 (high fall-related activity).A total score above 70 indicates that the person has a fear of falling.

• Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

  It is a 17-item scale developed to measure the fear of movement/re-injury.The scale includes parameters for injury/re-injury and fear-avoidance in work-related activities.Likert 4 points on the scale rating (1= Strongly disagree, 4= I completely agree) is used.4, 8, 12 and After the reversal of Article 16, a total points are calculated.Person between 17-68 total gets a score. The score that the person received on the scale his high level of kinesiophobia is also high shows.

  6 months

• Timed Get Up and Walk Test

  The patient is asked to get up from the chair she is sitting on, walk three meters, turn around and sit down again.At this time, the time is recorded.10 seconds and below; the patient walks independently, the risk of falling is very low.11-19 sec.; The patient walks independently, there is a low to moderate risk of falling.20-29 sec. may need help from time to time, there is a moderate to high risk of falling.Over 30 seconds, assistance is needed from time to time and the risk of falling is high.
