摘要
背景。跌倒效能量表-国际版（FES-I）是一个用于评估跌倒恐惧的有效性和可靠性测量工具。然而，值得注意的是，目前FES-I还没有泰米尔语版本。因此，本研究的目的是将该量表跨文化适配成泰米尔语，并随后测试翻译版本的有效性和可靠性。
方法。根据ProFaNE设置的协议，将FES-I的原始英文版本翻译成泰米尔语。泰米尔语版本的FES-I（T）提供给了81名老年泰米尔语参与者。进行统计分析，根据年龄、性别、跌倒恐惧和跌倒历史比较组间差异。通过与TUG测试和SPPB的得分进行比较，评估FES-I（T）的有效性。使用组内相关系数评估FES-I（T）的可靠性。
结果。从FES-I（T）获得的总分与TUG测试获得的分数呈正相关（rs = 0.584），而与从SPPB获得的分数呈负相关（rs = −0.619，p值 < 0.001）。此外，FES-I（T）的重测信度被发现非常优秀，总分的组内相关系数值为0.99。
结论。基于本研究的发现，可以得出结论，FES-I（T）是一个宝贵的工具，可以在临床实践和研究设置中有效使用，以评估说泰米尔语的老年人的跌倒恐惧。

Abstract
Purpose. To assess the effect of lung boost exerciser on lung compliance, aerobic functional capacity and quality of life in elderly. Materials and methods: sixty subjects of both sexes (31 women and 29 men) participated in this study with age group from 70­80 years. Subjects assigned randomly into two equal groups. Group A received a conventional physical therapy programme for the chest in form of diaphragmatic breathing exercise, pursed-lip breathing exercise and upper limb Exercises connected with respiration, while Group B received Lung boost exerciser in addition to conventional physical therapy programme for the chest. Received three sessions a week for the next 12 weeks. The treatment was applied for 12 weeks, three sessions per week. Variables were assessed before and after intervention for each subject and statistically analyzed: (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) were assessed by spirometry), diaphragmatic excursion (was assessed by percussion), quality of life (was assessed by quality of life score (QoL) and aerobic functional capacity (was assessed by six-minute walk test). Results: statistical analysis using mixed MANOVA showed that there was no significant difference in all parameters between both groups before treatment (p > 0.05). Comparison between groups after treatment revealed a significant increase in FVC, FEV1, MIP, and 6MWD of the group B compared with that of the group A (p < 0.001). Also, there was a significant decrease in QoL score (p < 0.001) and a significant increase in diaphragmatic excursion of the group B compared with that of group A after treatment. Conclusions: Lung boost exerciser is an effective modality that can be added to traditional physical therapy protocols and revealed a positive impact on lung compliance and quality of life in elderly.

Physiotherapy management in geriatrics

Tomasz Pasek, Marcin Kempiński, Jarosław Pasek, Romualda Mucha, Aleksander Sieroń

Abstract
The important role of the physiotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients was recognized in the second part of the 21st century. Physiotherapy facilitates adaptation to the problems of the old age. Physiotherapeutic management includes the development of motor programmes which help elderly people to function normally and independently. Aging is a natural part of human life. Man’s role is to make it as comfortable as possible. Geriatric rehabilitation is concerned with treating elderly patients and keeping them fit, helping them to avoid some of the symptoms of chronic old age ailments. Nowadays age 65 is regarded as the beginning of old age. Some of the most characteristic features of this part of life are: difficulties in maintaining homoeostasis in the presence of stress stimuli, lower capability to carry out activities of daily living and reduced physical activity. In fact, elderly people are increasingly dependent on the help of others. Therefore there is a great need for preventative rehabilitation, whose purpose is to prepare for a physiological and healthy old age. This article describes problems connected with rehabilitation of the elderly. Currently employed physiotherapeutic and kinesitherapeutic methods are described together with state-of-the-art treatment options in physical therapy. The latter include magnetic field stimulation, which is remarkably useful in the treatment of depression, injuries and other musculoskeletal conditions and magneto-LED-therapy, a novel combination of fluctuating magnetic field and visible light irradiation possessing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic effects.

Streszczenie
Cel. Celem niniejszego badania była ocena skuteczności ćwiczeń aerobowych i ich wpływu na wskaźnik jakości snu Pittsburg, poziomy serotoniny, adrenaliny i noradrenaliny u osób starszych z przewlekłą bezsennością pierwotną. Materiał i metody. 40 starszych uczestników obu płci skarżących się na przewlekłą bezsenność pierwotną zostało losowo przydzielonych do dwóch równych grup: grupy kontrolnej i grupy badanej. Ich wiek wynosił od 60 do 70 lat. Grupa badana uczestniczyła w programie ćwiczeń aerobowych o umiarkowanym natężeniu przez 1 godzinę dziennie, trzy razy w tygodniu przez trzy miesiące, podczas gdy grupa kontrolna nie uczestniczyła w programie ćwiczeń, ale została poddana takiej samej ocenie jak grupa badana. Wskaźnik jakości snu Pittsburg, poziomy hormonów serotoniny, adrenaliny i noradrenaliny oceniano przed i po zastosowanym programie ćwiczeń.
Wyniki. Wskaźnik jakości snu Pittsburg (ang. Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index – PSQI) i poziom serotoniny wykazują znaczącą poprawę w grupie badanej oraz istotną różnicę między grupami na korzyści grupy badanej (p < 0,05). Jednakże, w zakresie poziomów epinefryny oraz norepinefryny nie zaobserwowano żadnych istotnych zmian. W grupie kontrolnej nie zaobserwowano istotnych zmian w zakresie mierzonych zmiennych (p > 0,05).
Wniosek. Wydaje się, że ćwiczenia aerobowe o umiarkowanej intensywności poprawiają sen, zwiększają poziom serotoniny u pacjentów z przewlekłą bezsennością pierwotną.

Ćwiczenia aerobowe, osoby starsze, bezsenność pierwotna

摘要
目的。因衰老导致的吸气肌张力降低将使运动表现和生活质量受限，本研究的目的在评估老年人吸气肌训练的临床和功能性结果。
材料和方法。共47名年龄在60至70岁间不同性别的不吸烟老年人参与研究，他们被随机分配到人数相同的两组中。研究组接受阈值吸气肌训练器（IMT）训练，初始评估期间测量的PImax为40%，每周通过评估PImax重新调整，而对照组接受设备提供的最低压力阈值IMT训练，每周三次，持续10周。两组在训练前后都通过超声测量膈肌运动、最大吸气压力测量并通过6MWT测量功能性能力。
结果。在研究结束时，研究组内的膈肌运动、最大吸气压力测量值和 6MWT期间的行走距离显著增加（p < 0.05），而对照组内则无显著变化（p > 0.05）。研究结束时两组间的比较显示，研究组在膈肌运动和最大吸气压力测量值比起对照组有显著增加（p <0.05），而两组在6MWT期间的步行距离无显著差异（p > 0.05）。
结论。吸气肌训练应列为老年人日常生活的一部分，因为它对临床测量结果具正面效果，且具改善功能结果的特性。
