Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation of risk of tumble with gradings in patients with leukoaraiosis.Methods One hundred patients with leukoaraiosis,admitted to our hospital from June 2010 to June 2012,were selected as an observation group; another 100 elderly controls accepted physical examinations in our physical examination center at the same period were also selected.All subjects from the observation group underwent head CT or MRI examination to compare the cerebral white matter.The Berg balance scale was used to evaluate the ability of balance and divided into poor balance (0-20 scores),balance (21-40 scores) and better balance (41-56 scores).Results In the observation group,the proportion of poor balance and balance patients was averagely higher than that of control group; and the ratio of better balance function was lower than the control group.About the Berg balance scale scores with less than 40,the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between leukoaraiosis grading and balance dysfunction (Ts=0.790,P=0.000).Conclusion Senile leukoaraiosis patients have different degrees of balance dysfunction and the higher leukoaraiosis degrees they have,the severer of balance dysfunction they will get.
