Abstract

Aim: To study gait disorders and postural instability in patients with essential tremor (ET).

Material and methods: Forty patients with ET, aged from 29 to 82 years, (mean 64.2±13.0) were examined. Tandem walk, tremor, stability and stabilometry were studied.

Results and conclusion: A half of the patients had gait disorders and postural instability. Though these disorders were mild to moderate, they caused significant subjective discomfort and influenced quality of life. The results suggest the involvement of the cerebellum in the pathogenesis of gait disorders and postural instability in ET.

Цель исследования. Изучение нарушений проходки и постуральной устойчивости у больных с эссенциальным тремором (ЭТ). Материал и методы. Обследованы 40 пациентов в возрасте от 29 до 82 лет (64,2±13,0 года) с ЭТ. Проведены исследование тандемной ходьбы, тремора, устойчивости, стабилометрия. Заключение. У половины обследованных выявлены нарушения ходьбы и равновесия, которые были легкими и умеренными, но тем не менее являлись причиной значимого субъективного дискомфорта и фактором снижения качества жизни. Полученные данные могут отражать участие мозжечка в патогенезе нарушений ходьбы и равновесия при ЭТ.
