Abstracts

PL

Osłabienie siły mięśniowej, zwłaszcza kończyn dolnych, zwiększa ryzyko upadków, stanowiących zagrożenie dla sprawności w starości. Do oceny równowagi, jako parametru wpływającego na upadki, można użyć wielu różnych narzędzi badawczych. Jednym z rekomendowanych prostych testów jest test stania na jednej nodze. W pracy przedstawiono problemy metodologiczne z przeprowadzeniem tego testu, zwracając uwagę na niejednolitość procedur. Geriatria 2012; 6: 244-248.

Muscle weakness, especially that of lower limbs, increases the risk of falls. It poses a threat to the functional status of elderly subjects. Among the parameters affecting the risk of falls, balance is one of the most important. There are many different tools recommended for its assessment.One leg standing test belongs to them. In this paper methodological issues, which are important for the conduction of this test, are presented with special attention paid to the diversity of procedures. Geriatria 2012; 6: 244-248.
