Kalk ve Yürü Testi
Özet
Düşme, yaralanma ve hareket kısıtlılığının başlıca nedenlerinden biridir ve yaşlı bireylerde önemli kişisel, sosyal ve ekonomik yüklerle sonuçlanan olumsuz etkilere yol açar. Yürüyüş dengesizliği, düşmeye neden olan önemli bir faktör olup yaşlı bireylerde düşme riskini belirlemede yürüyüş ve denge bozukluğunu tarama amacıyla zamanla modifiye ‘Kalk ve Yürü Testi’ geliştirilmiştir. Bu test uygulanırken hastaların oturduğu kolçaklı sandalyeden kalkması, 3 metre yürüyerek geri dönmesi ve yeniden oturması istenir. Hastaların günlük kullandıkları ayakkabılarla ve eğer kullanıyorsa yardımcı cihazı ile birlikte testi yapması önerilmektedir ancak bir başka kişinin hastayı tutarak eşlik etmemesi gerekmektedir. Test süresi ne kadar kısaysa yürüme hızı performansı o kadar iyi olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Kolay uygulanabilen ve pratik bir tarama testi olarak kullanılsa da düşme riskini belirlemede kapsamlı geriatrik değerlendirme ile birlikte ele alınmalıdır.
