“…Although it is reported in the literature that there is a significant relationship between high BMI values and postural stability and fall risk, it is also stated that there is no generalization that obese women are at more risk of fall. 18 In our study, we think that this is not clinically important because the patients are not older, BMI values are not very high and they are very close to the control group values. There was a significant difference in fall history and FES-I values in favor of the patient group in accordance with the literature while there was no correlation between the risk of fall.…”

We aimed to evaluate postural stability and risk of fall in patients with asymptomatic vitamin B12 deficiency. Material and Methods: Fifty patients (34 women, 16 men; mean age ± SD: 35±12 years; age range: 18-58 years) who applied to physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic due to complaints of upper extremity with vitamin B12 deficiency (<200 pq/dl) and without neuropathy according to electromyography results were included in the study. In addition, a total of 49 healthy control subjects (mean age 34±8 years; range 24 to 60 years), 35 females and 14 males with similar age and sex, were included. Gender, age, body mass index (BMI) values and fall history in the last year of the participants were recorded. Fear of falling was evaluated with the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). With the Tetrax interactive balance system, which is an objective computerized method, posturographic evaluation of the participants was made. In the evaluation of postural stability; the stability index (SI) based on the displacement of the center of gravity and weight distribution index (WDI) on 4 platforms were used. On the other hand, the fall risk results were determined as a numerical value between 0-100. Postural stability and fall risk analyses were evaluated according to the results of the posturographic examination. Results: In the patient group, fall history, FES-I score, some SI values and the risk of falling were significantly higher (p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between FES-I and gender, age, BMI, and history of fall, while there was a weak negative correlation between some SI values and fall risk (r=0.03 and p<0.05). However, there was no correlation between the severity of vitamin B12 deficiency and the risk of falling. Conclusions: It was found that postural stability is affected, and the risk of fall is increased in patients with asymptomatic vitamin B12 deficiency. This increase in risk of fall was found to be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency but not with the severity of the deficiency.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of rapid weight loss on static balance and functional mobility among excessively obese patients undergoing Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) surgery. Subjects (8 females; BMI >35 kg/m2) underwent baseline measurements before LAGB surgery, followed by subsequent evaluations at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks during the follow-up appointments. During each evaluation, various assessments were conducted, including measurements of anthropometry such as body weight, height, hip and waist circumference, as well as functional tests for static balance, 10-meter walk, and timed get-up-and-go. There were statistically significant changes in weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, abdominal circumference, waist-hip ratio, static sway eyes open, timed up-and-go, 10-meter walk, and steps in 10-meter walk test values (p<0.001) between the baseline and the postoperative measurements. However static sway values under eyes closed condition were not statistically significant. In the 24-week follow-up, the weight loss, reduction in abdominal circumference, increase in walking speed against time and step count, and recovery in functional movements were shown to persist. Also, reduction in static balance surface oscillation confirmed the improvement of balance control.

Efficacy of early rehabilitation in a patient with spinal cord ischemia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy: a case report

et al. 2020

A 26-year-old male patient was admitted to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) inpatient clinic with a diagnosis of tetraplegia due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and spinal cord ischemia. The coexistence of both conditions is a rare condition. This case report aims to examine how early treatment in terms of rehabilitation would benefit the patient's severe condition. Motor and functional evaluations were performed before and after the 8-weeks rehabilitation program. Biodex isokinetic strength and balance tests were used to evaluate lower extremity muscle strength and balance status. Also, the 6-minute walking test was performed, and the pinch and handgrip strength were measured. Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hands Index (DASH) was used to evaluate the upper extremity functions, and the Functional Independent Measures (FIM) Questionnaire was used to determine the independence level. As a result of an early rehabilitation program, motor and functional status of the patient improved significantly.
