Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Sixty patients with PD diagnosed by our hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 were selected as the study objects.All patients were divided into myopenia group and control group according to the diagnostic criteria established by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS)in 2014.The UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg balance scale,timed-up-go test and activity balance confidence scale were compared between the two groups.Results The grip strength,walking speed and RASM of the myopenia group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05);Compared with the control group,the number of falls,UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg score and TUG duration in the myopenia group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The total score of ABC,ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-5,ABC-6,ABC-7,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16 in myopenia group were poor,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further analyzing the differences between sex genders,we found that female sarcopenia had lower scores on ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-13,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16,and total score indexes,with statistically significant differences.Conclusion Myopenia significantly affects the balance function of PD and increases the risk of falls.
