“…During aging, the elderly begin to present dysfunctions in the locomotor system and sensory system, in this way, they begin to adopt compensatory mechanisms to maintain adequate posture and functional gait, such as: diminution of the dissociation of waist, enlargement of the support base, reduction of the time in the balance phase, reduction of the length and height of the step and the reduction of the speed of the march. These changes may reduce the independent movement of the subject and the ability to perform their ADLs because of the fear of falling (21,22) . In some advanced cases of decline, the trunk balance is also impaired.…”

Regarding the older adults who are members of the Unipam Sênior project, which offers activities in the most diverse areas, such as dance classes, water aerobics, handcrafts and computing, we can observe that they maintain a good performance and are always encouraged to develop activities (49) .…”

“…Idosos residentes em ILPIs apresentam maiores limitações funcionais, tornando-se mais expostos a eventos incapacitantes e traumáticos, dentre os quais, as quedas (Lojudice, Laprega, & Rodrigues, 2010). Considerada uma síndrome geriátrica, as quedas constituem um sério problema de saúde pública atualmente, sendo que são vários os fatores de risco que contribuem para a sua incidência e prevalência.…”

“…No presente estudo, foi possível verificar que os idosos apresentaram alguns fatores de risco determinantes para a ocorrência de quedas, como ser do sexo feminino, idade avançada, presença de doenças crônicas, elevado uso de medicamentos e, consequentemente, a presença da polifarmácia, corroborando os achados de outros estudos (Lojudice, Laprega, & Rodrigues, 2010;Lucchetti, Granero, Pires, & Gorzoni, 2010;Fochat, Horsth, Sette, Raposo, & Chicourel, 2012;Ribeiro, Mascarenhas, R., Mascarenhas, M.A., & Gutierrez, 2013;Lima, & Cezario, 2014;Leal, Apóstolo, Mendes, & Marques, 2014 (Rebelatto, Castro, & Chan, 2007;Maciel, & Araújo, 2010;Lima Silva, Costa, & Guerra, 2011;Sá, Bachion, & Menezes, 2012;Freitas, Carvalho, & Vilas Boas, 2013).…”
