ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Postural instability and axial rigidity are frequent symptoms of the Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective Correlate the occurrence of falls and the activity of rolling over in bed with performance on the Trunk Mobility Scale (TMS) in patients with PD, and determine whether this instrument score can predict the risk of falls. Method This is a cross-sectional study. Assessed patients reported the frequency of falls in the previous year and whether they had difficulties rolling over in bed. Then, the following scales were applied TMS, Hoehn and Yahr, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale-III and Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living. Results Eighty-five patients were analyzed. Patients with a history of falling showed worse performance in the TMS (p < 0.01). There is a significant correlation between TMS and the activity of rolling over in bed (p < 0.01). Conclusion PD fallers present worse scores in TMS, and there is a significant correlation between difficulty rolling over in bed and TMS score.
RESUMO
RESUMO A instabilidade postural e a rigidez axial são sintomas frequentes da doença de Parkinson (DP). Objetivo Correlacionar a ocorrência de quedas e a atividade de rolar na cama com o desempenho na Escala de Mobilidade de Tronco (TMS) entre os pacientes com DP e verificar se esse instrumento pode prever o risco de quedas. Metodo Trata-se de um estudo transversal onde os pacientes avaliados relataram a frequência de quedas no ano anterior e as suas dificuldades para rolar na cama. Em seguida as seguintes escalas foram aplicadas TMS, Hoehn and Yahr, Escala Unificada da Doença de Parkinson-III e Escala Schwab e England. Resultados 85 pacientes foram avaliados. Os pacientes que possuíam histórico de quedas apresentaram pior desempenho no TMS (p < 0,01). Há uma correlação significativa entre a TMS e a atividade de rolar na cama (p < 0,01). Conclusão Pacientes que relataram quedas apresentam pior pontuação no TMS e há uma correlação significativa entre a dificuldade de rolar na cama e o TMS.
