Therefore, it is important to assist them in re-gaining their walking ability from an early stage after the onset of stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between walking ability and the physical, psychological and social dimensions of elderly patients with stroke, in order to enable holistic support and intervention. Methods - The participants included 31 patients with stroke who were 65 years or older. The dependent variable was walking ability, and the independent variables were motor paralysis, the lower limb loading force of the affected and unaffected sides, spirituality, social support, and age. Correlation test, independent t-test, and Mann–Whitney U test were performed. Results - There was a significant correlation between motor paralysis and lower limb loading force of the affected and unaffected sides (r=0.692, P<0.001 and r=0.562, P<0.001, respectively), between the lower limb loading force of the affected side and that of the unaffected side (r=0.861, P<0.001), and between spirituality and social support (r=0.512, P<0.001). Spirituality, motor paralysis, and the lower limb loading force of the affected and unaffected sides were significantly higher in the independent-walking group than in the assisted-walking group (P = 0.007, P <0.001, P <0.001, P <0.001). base Conclusions - It is necessary to understand the walking ability of elderly patients with stroke based on holistic assessments of the person, rather than judging by age.}, pages = {2020-03--2020-03}, title = {高齢脳卒中患者の歩行能力と身体的、精神的、社会的側面との関係}, volume = {2020-03}, year = {} }
