有几种工具用于残疾评估，AGGIR（Autonomie Gerontologie Groupes Iso-Ressande）量表是法国最常用的一种。这个量表涵盖了所谓的工具维度，对应于相对复杂的活动，主要是认知成分（烹饪，药物使用，财务等）。以及具有主要物理成分的维度（所谓的基本维度，其与诸如行走、穿衣、散步等活动相关）。然而，目前，在评估老年人在AGGIR量表内的依赖性时，只考虑到基本活动。我们的研究的目的是确定这两个方面（基本和工具）的相对重要性，在定义和识别老年人在日常生活中遇到的困难。主成分分析进行了使用525 AGM规模的非机构化的老人住在他们的家。结果表明，列入工具性活动可以改善评估的依赖性的老年人，从而促进实施适当的反应，残疾人的需求。(C)2014年Elsevier Masson SAS。All rights reserved.
Several instruments are used for the assessment of the disability, and the scale AGGIR (Autonomie Gerontologie Groupes Iso-Ressources) is the one most commonly used in France. This scale covers so-called instrumental dimensions, that correspond to relatively complex activities with the dominating cognitive component (cooking, medication use, finances, etc.) as well as dimensions with the dominating physical component (so-called fundamental dimensions that are related to such activities as walking, dressing, toileting, etc.). However, at present, only the fundamental activities are taken into account while assessing the dependency of the elderly within the scale AGGIR. The aim of our study was to identify the relative importance of these two dimensions (fundamental and instrumental) in the definition and identification of difficulties that older people encounter in their everyday life. A principal components analysis was carried out using 525 AGM scales of non-institutionalized elders living at their homes. The results indicate that the inclusion of instrumental activities may improve the assessment of dependency of the elderly and thus facilitate the implementation of appropriate responses to the needs of disabled people.
