“…36 Health promotion has developed as a response to this challenge of achieving old age without disability, encompassing actions directed at strengthening the physical and mental abilities of individuals, as well as actions directed at changes in social, environmental and economic conditions, in order to lessen their impact on public and individual health. 37 Hence the importance of the participation of older people in health promotion programs that focus on prevention of disabilities as a priority.…”

The increase in the size of the elderly population demands new knowledge about the process of healthy and active aging. Cognitive disorders are directly associated with aging, and therefore represent a public health problem. A longitudinal and interventional study with a quantitative approach was performed with the aim of analyzing the effects of a physical therapy program aimed at health promotion on the cognitive ability of institutionalized elderly women. Data was collected using a sociodemographic and clinical form and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) at three time points (baseline, after 10 interventions and after 20 interventions). The health promotion program consisted of 20 recreational group activities in weekly meetings lasting an hour. Statistical analysis used the paired Student's t-test and Analysis of variance, with a significance level of p<0.05. The sample consisted of 24 elderly persons, with a mean age of 80.04 years. The results showed improvement in the performance of the elderly, both in overall MMSE score (T0=19.22 vs. T2=28.33, p=0.01) and in the evaluated subcategories "time orientation" (T0=3.35 vs. T2=3.57, p=0.02), "record" (T0=2.61 vs. T2=2.95, p<0.01), "memory recall" (T0=1.78 vs. T2=2.71, p<0.01), "read and execute" (T0=0.43 vs. T2=0.67, p=0.01) and "copy diagram" (T0=0.26 vs. T2=0, 48, p=0.02). These findings suggest that physical therapy for health promotion purposes enables improvement in performance of cognitive activities of institutionalized elderly persons, thus contributing to a better quality of life.

“…20 In our study, the elderly showed independence in their activities even with high blood pressure and other diseases such as diabetes and arthrosis. However, in the study by Montenegro 21 the worsening of some functional activities showed a correlation with the presence of associated diseases and the advanced age of the patient.…”

Objective: To evaluate the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for elderly women in a longterm institution in Fortaleza-CE. Method: This is an exploratory, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, performed with 59 elderly residents in two long-term institutions for the elderly (LTCF) in Fortaleza-CE, during the second half of 2010. The initial assessment instrument consisted of personal, socio-demographic, and clinical data. We then applied the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) to measure how much care they needed to perform motor and cognitive tasks. Results: The women had been institutionalized for 8.32 (± 9.46) years. The average age of participants was 76.72 (± 9.81) years. In relation to self-care most of the group eat, carry out personal hygiene, and bathe independently. In addition, it can be seen that 69.50% use the toilet independently. As for mobility, 50.85% of the women can manage without help, while 62.71% can only use the stairs with help. As for social cognition, they have good communication, because 49.15% did not need any help in understanding the words, 62.71% express themselves freely, while 50.85% have memory deficits. Conclusion: The participants in the study were independent under the general definition. They were able to perform virtually all activities in a satisfactory manner, such as feeding, personal hygiene, bathing, mobility, and sphincter control, being dependent on aid only with aspects related to memory and climbing stairs.

“…Dentro deste contexto, a presença do profissional fisioterapeuta é de grande importância nas ILPI's pois os idosos que nelas residem possuem muitas vezes, várias doenças associadas que os tornam mais vulneráveis às quedas 10 e a fisioterapia nas ILPI's tem como principal objetivo a preservação ou a recuperação da capacidade funcional do idoso, mantendo a independência funcional e um bom nível de atividade física o máximo de tempo possível 10,11 .…”

Objetivo: Comparar o equilíbrio, mobilidade funcional e nível de atividade física de idosos institucionalizados que realizam e não realizam fisioterapia. Métodos: Participaram 60 idosos institucionalizados, 30 que realizavam fisioterapia (GF) e 30 que não realizavam (GNF). Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), Testes de Tinetti, Timed Up and Go (TUG) e de Alcance Funcional Anterior (TAF), e Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ). Resultados: Foi observada diferença no TUG (p=0,01), sendo que o GF levou mais tempo para realizar o teste (19,5±6,1 segundos) que o GNF (16,4±7,3 segundos). Também foi observada diferença no TAF (p=0,003), com melhor desempenho durante o teste no GNF (27,6±6,2cm) que no GF (22,4±5,1cm). Quanto ao NAF, 43,4% dos idosos do GF eram inativos e 43,3% do GNF ativos (p=0,015). Conclusões: Os idosos que realizavam fisioterapia apresentaram menor mobilidade funcional, menor alcance funcional anterior e menores níveis de atividade física.
