Elderly, Occupational Balance, Old Age; Atrophy, Physical Performance, Postural Balance
Conditions
Brief summary
Occupational competence indicates participating in a variety of occupations to meet the standards expected of the individuals' valued roles to sustain a pattern of occupational attitudes that is significant and satisfying. Physical performance declines with age. This causes problems with balance and falling. Balance and falling losses can also affect occupation. Our study was conducted to examine the relationship between physical performance and occupational balance in elderly individuals. According to the power analysis, it is planned to include the individual in the study. Individuals will only be evaluated and the relationship between scale results will be analyzed statistically.
Interventions
OTHERShort Physical Performance Batary
The SPPB includes usual walking speed over 4 m, five chair-stands test, and balance test. A score (scale: 0-4) was assigned to performance on time to rise five times from a seated position, standing balance, and 4-m walking velocity. Individuals received a score of 0 for each task they were unable to complete. Participants coded in the unable to perform category included (a) those who tried but were unable and (b) the interviewer or participant felt it was unsafe. Summing the three individual categorical scores, a summary performance score was created for each participant (range: 0-12), with higher scores indicating better lower body function.
OTHEROccupational Balance Self-Assessment
The Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) is a self-reported assessment tool consisting of 21 items in which the patient rates their occupational competence (i.e., how well they do) and value (i.e., how important it is to them). The first 11 items are related to skills and occupational performance, the next five items concern habitation (including habits and roles), and the last five items correspond to volition (including personal causation, values, and interests). In the OSA, each item is scored on two separate 4-point scales, one for occupational competence (1 = I have a lot of problems doing this; 4 = I do this extremely well) and the other for value (1 = This is not important to me; 4 = This is most important to me). The individual item scores are summed to obtain separate total scores for competence and value. Higher total scores indicate higher occupational competence and value.
