ÖZET
Amaç: Nörolojik hastalıklara bağlı engellilik gelişmiş
bireylerde ortez sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Bu bireylerde, orteze uyum
göstermeme önemli bir sorundur. Bununla birlikte ortez uyumunu etkileyen
faktörleri inceleyen çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı,
nörolojik hastalıklara bağlı engellilik gelişen bireylerde alt ve üst ekstremite
ortezlerine uyumu etkileyen faktörleri incelemektir. Gereç ve
Yöntemler: Nörolojik rehabilitasyon nedeniyle takip edilen daha önce
alt ve/veya üst ekstemite ortezi önerilmiş 45 hastanın orteze uyumları
sorgulandı. Ayrıca hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, boy, kilo, hastalık süresi,
tanısı, meslek, eğitim durumu, yaşadığı yer, evinin kaçıncı kat olduğu,
yaşadığı binada asansör olup olmadığı, yılda aldığı fizyoterapi seans
sayısı, uyguladığı ev egzersizi süresi, kullandığı yürüme yardımcısı,
reçetelenen ortezin tipi, ortezinin reçete edilme zamanı, etkilenen ekstremiteler,
ambulasyon durumu, hastalığının klinik evresi, cihaza
uyum göstermeme nedeni gibi faktörlerin ortez uyumu ile ilişkisi incelendi.
Bulgular: Alt ekstremite ortezi önerilip de cihaza uyum göstermeyen
hastaların cihazı aksatma nedenlerinden cihaz kaynaklı nedenler
diğer nedenlere göre anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı. Üst ekstremite ortez
kullanım oranı ile hastalık süresi ve mevcut ortez reçetelenme süresi
arasında negatif yönlü; yaş ile ise pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki
saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Ortez kullanan hastaların ortez uyumunu etkileyen
en önemli faktörlerin cihaza bağlı nedenler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Ayrıca hastaların hastalık süresi, yaş ve ortez reçete süresi de ortez
uyumu ile ilişkilidir. Bu sonuçlar ortez reçeteleme, ortez üretimi ve
hasta takibi sırasında dikkate alınmalıdır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Ortez; ortez uyumu; hemipleji; ayak-ayak bileği ortezi; rehabilitasyon
ABSTRACT
Objective: Orthosis is frequently used in individuals with disability
due to neurological diseases. Non-compliance with the orthosis is
an important problem in these patients. However, studies examining the
factors affecting orthotic compliance are limited. The aim of this study is
to examine the factors affecting compliance with lower and upper extremity
orthoses in individuals with disability due to neurological diseases.
Material and Methods: Orthosis compliance of 45 patients who were
previously recommended lower and/or upper extremity orthosis and followed
up for neurological rehabilitation was questioned. In addition, the
relationship of factors such as age, gender, height, weight, duration of
disease, diagnosis, clinical stage of the disease, reasons for non-compliance
with the device, occupation, education level, residence, what floor
their house is on, whether there is an elevator in the building they live in,
the number of physiotherapy sessions they receive per year, the duration
of home exercise they use, the walking aid they use, the type of orthosis
prescribed, the time their orthoses are prescribed, affected extremities,
and ambulation status of patients with orthosis compliance were examined.
Results: Device-related reasons were found to be significantly more
common than other reasons, among the reasons for leaving the device in
patients who were offered lower extremity orthosis and did not comply
with the device. The rate of use of upper extremity orthosis was found to
be negatively related to disease duration and orthosis prescription time,
and positively related to age. Conclusion: It has been determined that
the most important factors affecting the orthotic compliance of patients
using orthoses are device-related reasons. In addition, patients' disease
duration, age, and orthosis prescription duration are also associated with
orthosis compliance. These results should be considered during prescribing,
orthotic manufacture, and patient follow-up.
