NCT06122818 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: IstanbulPMRTRHomecare-srcpn
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 120
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim in the study is to evaluate the presence of sarcopenia in patients receiving home health care; To evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and age, disease duration, and cause of immobility. In the literature review, a limited number of studies evaluating sarcopenia in home health patients were found.

Conditions

Sarcopenia; Home Health Care

Keywords

Sarcopenia; home health care

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• handgrip strength

  Handgrip strength will be measured using a hand grip dynamometer. Measurements will be taken 3 times in a sitting position with the elbow flexed to 90° and the wrist in neutral position. The measured maximal grip strength will be recorded as hand grip strength. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement

  three months

• calf circumference

  Calf circumference is an anthropometric measurement that indicates fat free muscle mass and has been considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) the most sensitive index for evaluating the decrease in muscle mass. Calf circumference will be measured with an elastic band over the subject's right leg, both sitting and standing. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement

  three months

• Body Mass Index (BMI)

  BMI will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height2 (m2). The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement

  three months

• Skeletal muscle mass

  Skeletal muscle mass will be evaluated using a multi-frequency body composition analysis device. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement

  three months
