Abstract

The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) was balance measurement equipment for school-age children with mild to moderate motor impairments. The aims of this study are to examine the correlation between PBS and spatiotemporal gait parameter and to identify the walking function with cerebral palsy through balance scale. The PBS consists of 14 items such as sitting of standing, standing to sitting, transfers, standing unsupported, standing on one foot, turning 360 degrees, turing to look behind, etc., and the spatiotemporal parameters include walking speed, stride length, step length, step width, cadence, double-limb support. All subjects were independently ambulatory children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, and they were assessed on PBS and spatiotemporal gait parameters by an experienced pediatric physical therapist. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between PBS and spatiotemporal gait parameters, and the level of significance was set at ${\alpha}$ = 0.05. Total score of PBS(r=.49~.58), standing to sitting(r=.48~.60), turning to look behind(r=.47~.53), and pick up object(r=.52~.69) were positively correlated with walking speed, stride length, step length, and cadence. Most items of the PBS were negatively correlated with double-limb support(r=-.48~-.92). These findings suggest that the pediatric balance scale can be applied to estimate gait function level for children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

소아균형검사(Pediatric Balance Scale)는 경증이나 중증의 운동손상을 지닌 학령기 아동에게 사용할 수 있는 균형검사도구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 경직성 양하지 뇌성마비 아동을 대상으로 소아균형검사와 시공간적 보행변수간의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 소아균형검사는 앉은 자세에서 일어나기, 선 자세에서 앉기, 의자에서 의자로 이동하기, 잡지 않고 서 있기, 한 다리로 서 있기, 제자리에서 $360^{\circ}$ 회전하기, 뒤돌아보기 등 총 14개 항목으로 구성하고, 시공간적 보행변수는 보행속도 및 보폭, 보거리, 보격, 분속수, 양하지 지지 시간을 포함한다. 모든 대상자들은 독립적으로 보행이 가능한 경직성 양하지 뇌성마비 아동이며, 숙련된 소아물리치료사에 의해 소아균형검사와 시공간적 보행변수를 측정하였다. 소아균형검사와 시공간적 보행변수 간의 상관관계를 분석하기 위해 피어슨 상관분석을 사용하였고, 통계학적 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 소아균형검사의 총점(r=.49~.58)과 세부항목 중 선 자세에서 앉기(r=.48~.60)와 선 자세에서 왼쪽/오른쪽 어깨 뒤로 돌아보기(r=.47~.53), 선 자세에서 바닥에 물건 집어 들기(r=.52~.69)는 보행속도와 보폭, 보거리, 분속수의 각 변수 사이에 모두 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 소아균형검사의 대부분 항목이 양하지 지지 시간 간의 매우 높은 음의 상관관계(r=-.48~-.92)를 보여주고 있다. 이는 소아균형검사와 시공간적 보행변수는 높은 상관관계를 가진 것을 관찰 할 수 있었으며, 소아균형검사를 통해 뇌성마비 아동의 보행수준을 예견하는데 유용하게 적용될 것이다.
