Abstract

Introduction

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a rollator on the prevention of falls in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) during outdoor walks.

Method

This study examined 30 community-dwelling patients with PD. Factors associated with falls were classified into clinical patient background, physical function, and psychophysiological function factors. The number of falls and subsequent injuries was observed over a period of greater than 6 months, if patients were using rollators while falls happened.

Results

Participants who used a rollator had a significantly lower fall rate, number of falls, and injury rate than those who did not use a rollator (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

A rollator could protect patients with PD from falls. Additionally, when considering the use of a rollator for patients with PD, it is important to assess the patient’s physical and psychophysiological functions.

滚动器对帕金森病社区居民跌倒预防的影响：一项前瞻性队列研究

引言本研究旨在研究滚轴在帕金森病（PD）患者户外散步时预防跌倒的作用。方法对30例社区帕金森病患者进行调查，将跌倒的相关因素分为临床患者背景、身体功能和心理生理功能因素。如果患者在跌倒时使用滚动器，则在6个月以上的时间内观察到跌倒和随后受伤的次数。结果使用翻滚器的参与者的跌倒率、跌倒次数和受伤率均显著低于未使用翻滚器（p<；0.05）。结论翻滚器可以保护PD患者免于跌倒。此外，当考虑为PD患者使用滚轮时，评估患者的身体和心理生理功能很重要。
