ABSTRACT

Conclusion:

The quality of life of disabled people, the health and social services they receive are closely related to the level of development of society. To increase the participation of disabled people in society, it is extremely important to increase awareness of the importance of disability by determining the disability rates due to locomotor system diseases in health boards.

Results:

Between January 2020 and December 2020, 1,006 patients applied to the adult disabled health board of our hospital. Five hundred fifty-eight female (55.5%) and 448 (44.5%) male patients were included in the study, and the number of admissions was significantly higher in female patients. The mean age of these patients was 54.8±19.1 years. The frequency of admissions increased with increasing age. The highest number of applications were in patients over 65 years of age. At least one locomotor system disorder was present in 448 people (44.5%) at admission. While the mean total disability of the patients was 58.5±28.9, the mean of the locomotor system disability was recorded as 32.8±24.3.

Materials and Methods:

The records of patients who applied to the adult health board of our hospital between January 2020 and December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively from the files of the health board. Disability rates, branch distributions and dependency levels in all branches were recorded. Simultaneously, patients with locomotor system disability rates were examined in detail.

Objective:

It is aim to contribute to the epidemiological information about the disabled in our country by examining the reasons and rates of patients who applied to the adult health board of our hospital. Simultaneously, disorders of the locomotor system were evaluated in detail and the deficiency in this area was tried be eliminated in the literature.
