Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to compare the level of functional efficiency and factors influencing it in women after the age of 50 with advanced osteoarthritis of the hip (coxarthrosis) or knee (gonarthrosis) joint.
Material and methods. The study included 70 women aged 50–90 years with coxarthrosis (n = 35) or gonarthrosis (n = 35), stage 3 according to the Kellegren-Lawrence scale.
The functional status was assessed based on the Tinetti test and the Two-scales test. The Likert scale rated pain, stiffness, and the difficulty of getting up and putting on socks. The quality of life was assessed using a 100-point scale.
Results. Women with coxarthrosis achieved worse results in the Tinetti test in the part concerning gait (p < 0.01) and balance (p < 0.05). Pain and stiffness determined the results of most tests. Patients with gonarthrosis had greater problems with walking on flat surfaces and with getting up from a chair (p < 0.001). Pain determined difficulties when walking and putting on socks, and stiffness influenced difficulties in walking, standing up, putting on socks, and the results of the Tinetti test.
Conclusions.
1. Stiffness and pain deteriorate functional efficiency in women with coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis.
2. Greater problems with gait and balance occur in women with coxarthrosis, while women with gonarthrosis have greater difficulties with walking on flat surfaces and getting up from a chair.

摘要
研究目的。研究目的在评估影响单侧髋关节成形术对患者功能状态的影响因素。
平衡和步态功能评估由下列测试进行：Tinetti、起立测试（Timed Up and Go, TUG）及以两种量表为基础计算的对称性指数（WS）。在平坦表面和楼梯行走时的疼痛感度及僵硬程度以李克特量表评估。进行简单和复杂日常活动能力评估时使用ADL Katz（Activities of Daily Living）和IADL Lawton（Instrumental Activities of Daily Living）量表，并以数值标示方式进行自我生活质量评估，此外也计算体重指数（BMI）。
材料和方法。共50名29至88岁间（平均年龄66.7 + 13岁）有单侧髋关节假体的患者（其中33名女性、17名男性）参与研究。
结果。患者年龄、疼痛及僵硬程度决定了大多数的测试结果和功能量表。疾病数量多的患者在Tinetti测试中的结果较差，只有上下楼梯时的强烈疼痛影响WS的结果。提出有较强烈疼痛和晨起僵硬的患者对其生活质量有较差评价。
结论。
年龄、晨起疼痛和僵硬对单侧髋关节假体患者的功能状态和生活质量有影响。BMI和手术后所经过的时间对患者状态无影响。

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the difference in power and muscles shortening velocity in patients with a history of stroke and those who have not undergone a stroke as well as to evaluate the determinants of the power and muscles shortening velocity.
Material and Methods: A total of 62 people were enrolled in the study, including 31 patients (9 women and 22 men) after stroke hospitalized in Neurological Rehabilitation Department and 31 people matched for age and sex who did not suffer a stroke. Personal, anthropometric and diseases related data were collected. Muscle power (Pmax) and optimal shortening velocity of the muscles (Vopt) were evaluated by performing two 8-second tests on a Monark type bicycle ergometer.
Results: A significant difference in Pmax and Vopt between groups (p < 0.001) was noted. The average Pmax score in stroke patients was 211.22 W ±134.12, and in the control group 378.76 W ±167.52, and Vopt respectively 58.48 ±18.53 and 78.41 ±17.8 rep./ min. Relationship between age and Pmax as well as Vopt was also obtained.
Conclusions: Stroke reduces power and muscle shortening velocity. Power deficit in relation to people who have not suffered a stroke is over 44%, and velocity rate over 25%. The Pmax and Vopt level are affected by age.
