Abstract

Uvod: Test tandemske hoje naprej in test tandemske hoje nazaj sta testa, ki ovrednotita dinamično ravnotežje. Pri izvedbi je potrebno hoditi po 6 metrov dolgi in 2,5 centimetra široki črti na trdni podlagi, kjer se morajo prsti stojne noge in peta noge, ki dostopa, stikati. Pri izvedbi je merjen čas in število napak, ki jih ovrednotimo kot sestop celega stopala s črte ali takrat, ko stopali nista v stiku. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil primerjati rezultate testa tandemske hoje naprej in nazaj med starejšimi in mlajšimi preiskovanci. Metode dela: Test tandemske hoje naprej in nazaj smo izvedli v dveh skupinah in sicer v skupini starejših preiskovancev ter v skupini mlajših. Pri starejših smo zajeli vzorec 19 preiskovancev (povprečna starost = 68,4 ± 6,6) pri mlajših pa 23 preiskovancev (povprečna starost = 21,0 ± 1,7). Pri izvedbi obeh testov smo dvakrat merili čas izvedbe in kot rezultat izračunali njuno povprečje ter povprečno število napak pri obeh izvedbah. Statistično značilnost smo sprejeli pri 5-odstotni napaki alfa. Rezultati: Razlika v časovni izvedbi testa tandemske hoje naprej med skupinama je bila statistično pomembna (p ≤= 0,001), hkrati je bila statistično pomembna tudi razlika v napakah pri istem testu (p = 0,011). Razlika v časovni izvedbi testa tandemske hoje nazaj je bila statistično pomembna (p = 0,005) ter hkrati tudi razlika v številu napak (p = 0,001). Večje število napak je linearno povezano s krajšim časom izvedbe testa. Pri testu tandemske hoje naprej pri starejših preiskovancih je bila korelacija časovne izvedbe v odvisnosti od napak r = 0,30, pri mlajših pa r = 0,19. Pri testu tandemske hoje nazaj je bila korelacija časovne izvedbe v odvisnosti od napak pri starejših preiskovancih r = 0,06 pri mlajših pa r = 0,11. Razlika v pojavnosti napak med skupinama je statistično pomembna (p = 0,03) le pri izvedbi testa tandemske hoje nazaj. Razprava in sklep: Čas izvedbe in število napak se s starostjo povečujeta, hkrati pa se s krajšim časom izvedbe pojavi tudi večje število napak. Tako test tandemske hoje naprej in test tandemske hoje nazaj sta enostavna za uporabo, vendar je slednji bolj primeren za mlajše preiskovance.

Secondary title: Forward tandem walk test and backward tandem walk test: a comparison between older and young adults
Secondary abstract: Introduction: The tests of the tandem walking forward and of the tandem walking backward evaluate the dynamic balance of a person. When performing the test, one must walk along a 6-meter-long and 2,5-centimeter-wide line, which has a firm foundation and where the fingers of the standing leg and the heel of the stepping leg are at a juncture. While performing the test, the time and number of errors are measured. An error occurs when the whole foot treads from the marked line or when the feet are not at a juncture. Purpose: The purpose of this degree is to compare the results of the tandem walking forward and backward test between older and younger participants. Research methods: The tandem walking forward and backward test was carried out in two groups, one consisting of elder participants and the other consisting of younger participants. In the group of the elderly, we had a sample of 19 participants (average age = 68,4 ± 6,6) and in the group of the youngsters, we had a sample of 23 participants (average age = 21,0 ± 1,7). When carrying out the tests, we measured the time twice. For the results, we calculated the average time needed to complete the task and the average number of errors while performing it. We have set a statistical significance at a 5% alpha error. Results: The time difference of the tandem walking test forward between the two groups was statistically significant (p ≤= 0,001), likewise, the difference in making errors in the same test was also statistically significant (p = 0,011). The time difference of the tandem walking test backward between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0,005) and likewise, the difference in making errors in the same test was also statistically significant (p = 0,001). A greater number of errors is associated with a shorter time span of completing the task. The correlation of the tandem walking test forward was r = 0,30 in the group of elderly participants and r = 0,19 in the group of younger participants. The correlation coefficient of the tandem walking test backward was r = 0,06 in the group of elderly participants and r = 0,11 in the group of younger participants. The difference between groups in the occurrence of errors when performing is statistically significant only when performing the tandem walking test backward (p = 0,03). Discussion and conclusion: The time needed to complete the test and the number of errors increase with age, and at the same time, a greater number of errors occur with a shorter execution time. Both the tandem walking test forward and the tandem walking test backward are easy to use, however, the latter is more appropriate for younger participants.
