Influence of foot pain on frailty symptoms in an elderly population: a case-control study.
2021
[Abstract] BACKGROUND: Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot disorders can negatively influence elderly people, thus affecting their condition of frailty. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether foot pain can influence a greater degree of frailty. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at the University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. METHODS: A sample older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 healthy subjects and 26 foot pain patients, was recruited. Frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS). RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in the total EFS score and in mos…
The reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) in older adults with foot disorders
2020
[Abstract] The Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is an index employed to measure alterations related to frailty. The main objective in this research was to develop the EFS short-form (EFS-SF) and to evaluate its validity, reliability, and sensitivity to predict frailty disability outcomes in elderly patients with foot disabilities. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the EFS-SF revealed the presence of three components, as in the original EFA. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the study population for several of the EFS and 5-item FRAIL scale indicators. The highest correlation (Pearson R = 0.871; p < 0.001) was found for the first component of the EFS-SF. Finally, the Cro…

En condiciones normales la columna vertebral no presenta ninguna curvatura en el plano frontal y cuatro curvaturas fisiológicas en el plano de perfil. Existen patologías en las que se produce una alteración de estas curvaturas fisiológicas, como la escoliosis, la hipercifosis torácica y la cifoescoliosis. La escoliosis consiste en una compleja deformidad tridimensional de la columna vertebral en los tres planos del espacio, consistente en una extensión intervertebral en el plano sagital, una inclinación lateral en el plano frontal y un componente de rotación en el plano axial. La hipercifosis torácica consiste en un aumento por encima de un límite normal de la cifosis torácica fisiológica (…
Effect of foot health and quality of life in patients with Parkinson disease: A prospective case-control investigation.
2022
Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade da Coruña/CISUG [Abstract] Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by the presence of motor disturbances. Therefore, it can be related to musculoskeletal and orthopaedic problems, particularly in the foot status, that are linked to a negative effect on overall health, mobility and social function. Objective The aim was to analyse the impact of foot health and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease and people without Parkinson's disease, with normalised reference scores, in the light of the values recorded with regard to foot health status and overall health. Material an…
