Статья посвящена проблеме диагностики нарушений локомоторных функций у пожилых людей. В обзоре представлены методы диагностики локомотивного синдрома, базирующиеся на результатах анкетирования, оценке физических возможностей. Определен круг инструментальных методов, потенциально пригодных для диагностики у лиц пожилого и старческого возраста. Проведен критический анализ диагностической значимости скрининговых опросников, физикальных методов исследования. В настоящее время отсутствуют общепринятые и валидированные диагностические методы. На основе анализа литературы показано, что, несмотря на наличие различных методов диагностики локомотивного синдрома, существует потребность в комплексном инструменте, который сможет адекватно учесть весь спектр его компонентов.

This article is dedicated to the problem of diagnosing locomotor function impairments in elderly people. The review presents diagnostic methods for locomotive syndrome based on questionnaire results and physical tests. A range of instrumental methods potentially suitable for diagnostics in elderly and senile individuals is identified. A critical analysis of the diagnostic value of screening questionnaires and physical examination methods is conducted. Currently, there are no universally accepted and validated diagnostic methods. Based on a literature review, it is shown that although there are various diagnostic methods for locomotive syndrome, there is a need for a comprehensive tool that can adequately account for the full spectrum of its components.
