ABSTRACT

Background: Locomotive syndrome means being restricted in one’s ability to walk or lead a normal life owing to a dysfunction in one or more of the parts of locomotive organs. There is a rapid increase in undiagnosed locomotive patients which can lead to immobility. With the generous intention to calculate the risk associated with it, the assessment of locomotive syndrome was done. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in communities of Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad after ethics committee approval. The subjects were enrolled in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic details, medical-history, medication-history, occupation of participants along with GLFS-25 Questionnaire, two-step test and stand-up test were performed and or recorded in data collection form for assessment of locomotive syndrome. To evaluate risk, the scores obtained from two-step test and stand-up test were recorded in data collection form. Collected data was kept confidential and evaluated statistically. Result and Discussion: Total 363(out of 500) subjects were diagnosed with risk, out of which 255 had risk factor 1 and 108 had risk factor 2. Average GLFS-25 score of participants having risk of locomotive syndrome was 4. The risk of locomotive syndrome development was more observed with increased age, female gender, high BMI, and menopause. Conclusion: Locomotive syndrome generally remains undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and unavailability of tools required for its assessment. Participants’ having high risk for development of locomotive syndrome should be titrated and treated accordingly.

Keywords: Locomotive Syndrome, GLFS-25 Questionnaire, Two Step Test, Stand up Test.
