Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The main problems associated with losses at the motor level are: tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia. Many publications related to rehabilitation in PD refers to methods which are used to rehabilitate patients, but there is lack of significant amount of publications concerning tools to examine the effectiveness of these programs. The purpose of the work was to determine the suitability of Senior Fitness Test (SFT) in the assessment of the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation of people with PD. The research was conducted in a group of 52 people (age 64.52 ± 7.56 years) with idiopathic PD disease (duration of the disease was 6.69 ± 4.93 years) in II stage in Hoehn & Yahr scale. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was used to determine the clinical status of patients. Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQL) was applied to determine the quality of life. The patients were divided into a group of participants and non-participants in the process of physical rehabilitation. Obtained results in the tests showed statistically significant differences between the groups in all the tests. The biggest absolute difference was observed in the Back Scratch test (308,33%). In order to achieve the main goal of the work, the correlation coefficients between the quality of life and the results of the SFT were calculated. The obtained results show that correlation between all the tests in both groups is at least moderate. The highest correlation was recorded in the "2-minute walk" test in both groups. It was found that there is a relationship between SFT results and the quality of life of people with PD. SFT is a helpful tool in assessing the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation of people with PD.

在帕金森病患者生活质量背景下评估身体康复有效性的高级体能测试

帕金森氏病（PD）是中枢神经系统的变性疾病。与运动水平损失相关的主要问题是：震颤，僵硬，姿势不稳和运动迟缓。与PD康复有关的许多出版物都提到了用于使患者康复的方法，但是缺乏大量有关检查这些程序有效性的工具的出版物。这项工作的目的是确定高级体能测验（SFT）在评估PD患者身体康复有效性方面的适用性。在Hoehn＆Yahr量表的II期阶段，对52位患有特发性PD疾病（病程为6.69±4.93年）的52人（年龄为64.52±7.56岁）进行了研究。统一帕金森 疾病分级量表（UPDRS）用于确定患者的临床状况。帕金森氏病生活质量问卷（PDQL）用于确定生活质量。在身体康复过程中，将患者分为参与者和非参与者。在测试中获得的结果表明，在所有测试中各组之间的统计差异均有统计学意义。在“反划痕”测试中观察到最大的绝对差异（308.33％）。为了实现这项工作的主要目标，计算了生活质量和SFT结果之间的相关系数。获得的结果表明，两组中所有测试之间的相关性至少是中等的。两组的“ 2分钟步行”测试中记录的相关性最高。发现SFT结果与PD患者的生活质量之间存在关系。SFT是评估PD患者身体康复有效性的有用工具。
