Özet
Aim: In this study, the comparison of pain, functional capacity, balance, and body awareness in female individuals with and without fibromyalgia (FM) was investigated.Materials and Methods: Women with (n= 33) and without fibromyalgia (n= 33) between the ages of 18-65 were included. Demographic data of the participants were recorded. The pain was evaluated with an algometer. Mobility and functional capacity were assessed with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The impact of the fibromyalgia syndrome was assessed with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). BA was assessed with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ). Balance was assessed with the Biodex Balance System (BDS). The data were analyzed with the independent sample t-test and chi-square test.Results: The mean ages of the control group and FM group were 39±15.84 years and 41±13.10 years. There was a significant difference between the two groups with respect to 6MWT, FIQ score, TUG score, and some pain variables (p< 0.05). These differences were in favor of the control group. Discussion: In conclusion, scores of all parameters were worse in FM patients. FM has a negative impact on pain level, and FIQ score, especially on functional capacity and mobility. The pain threshold was very low. In light of these results, these parameters should be taken into consideration when evaluating and planning rehabilitation programs aimed at improving functional capacity in FM.
