Geriatric Locomotive Syndrome

Details and patient eligibility

About

It has been stated that the results of physical function and physical performance affecting locomotive syndrome in elderly individuals are controversial and studies are still needed. However, no studies have been found examining its relationship with the decrease in physical activity level, decline in cognitive functions, kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and fatigue seen in old age. Early detection of locomotive syndrome risk factors in elderly individuals will help prevent this condition, detect the risk of falling in elderly individuals and increase their quality of life. Based on these deficiencies, it is aimed to examine the relationship between locomotive syndrome and kinesiophobia, physical activity level, physical performance, fatigue and cognitive functions in elderly individuals.

Full description

It has been reported that problems related to the musculoskeletal system, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis or spondylosis, increase with aging in elderly individuals. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) has defined this condition as locomotive syndrome (LS) in elderly individuals, as a condition of decreased mobility due to deterioration of locomotive organs. LS is a condition of reduced mobility due to deterioration of locomotive organs. It has been stated that the results of physical function and physical performance affecting locomotive syndrome in elderly individuals are controversial and studies are still needed. However, no studies have been found examining its relationship with the decrease in physical activity level, decline in cognitive functions, kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and fatigue seen in old age.
