项目摘要

In elderly local residents in whom basic investigations on physical strength, walking ability, etc. had been completed, the actual state of walking was investigated again after a pause from 2 years and 6 months to 3 years, and the physical parameters indicating changes in walking pattern and ability were analyzed. Changes in walking pattern were observed in 7.6% of male subjects and 12.9% of female subjects, and the walk time changed in 16.6% and 27.3% of male and female subjects, respectively. These changes most frequently occurred around 75 years of age. Changes in walking pattern were reflected in the following physical abilities: the force of femoral quadriceps muscle, the time of one leg standing, the time of 10 m-walking beyond barriers and the distance attained by 6-min walking in both male and female subjects, and in the time of one leg standing and the frequency of upper body rising in female subjects. The walk time was reflected in multiple physical strength factors. The results of this longitudinal analysis nearly agreed with those of previous cross-sectional analysis. For the elderly to have healthy walking and to stay independent, it is important to train the walking ability, the muscle force of lower extremities and balancing ability, that can be evaluated from in the force of femoral quadriceps muscle, the time of one leg standing, the time of 10 m-walking beyond barriers and the distance attained by 6 min-walking. Especially in the time of one leg standing, decreasing of the time of one leg standing could pick up as a standard rate for changing of walking pattern. Standard rate of the time of one leg standing in elderly local residents is 40 minutes in 65-69 years, 30 minutes in 70-74 years, 20 minutes in 75-79 years and 10 minutes over 80 years. But in elderly facilities, the physical parameters indicating changes in walking pattern and ability could not be detected.

在当地老年居民中，对身体强度，步行能力等进行了基础研究，在2年零6个月到3年的停顿后，再次研究了步行的实际状态，并分析了步行模式和能力的变化的物理参数。在7.6％的男性受试者和12.9％的女性受试者中观察到步行模式的变化，行走时间分别在16.6％和27.3％的男性和女性受试者中变化。这些变化最常发生在75岁左右。步行模式的变化反映在以下身体能力中：股股四头肌肌肉的力量，一条腿站立的时间，超越障碍的10 m行动时间以及在男性和女性受试者中行走6分钟的距离，在男性和女性的腿上，一只腿站立的时代以及女性上身的频率在女性中升高。步行时间反映在多个体力因素中。这种纵向分析的结果几乎与先前的横截面分析的结果一致。为了使老年人保持健康的步行并保持独立，训练步行能力，下肢的肌肉力量和平衡能力，可以从股骨股四头肌肌肉的力量中进行评估，一条腿站立的时间，超越障碍的时间和距离超过6分钟。尤其是在一条腿站立时，一条腿站立时间的减少可能会作为改变步行模式的标准速度。一条腿站在老年居民的标准时间为65 - 69年的40分钟，在70 - 74年内30分钟，在75 - 79年中20分钟，在80年内10分钟。但是在老年设施中，无法检测到步行模式和能力变化的物理参数。
