“…Studies show that fear of falling has been reported both by elderly persons who have experienced falls, as well as by those who have never fallen 3,6,7 . Among those who have fallen, literature suggests that these individuals consider themselves less able to avoid a fall and, consequently, would be more prone to suffer another.…”

“…The diminished muscle strength and flexibility, and the impairment of the somatosensory, vestibular, and sensory systems, resulting from the aging process, alter postural control and balance, and hinder the practice of walking effectively and safely 3,23 .…”

“…Included in this analysis are social issues, and increased requirements and costs for healthcare [2][3][4] . Although the causal mechanisms may not be fully explained, studies indicate that the etiology of fear of falling has a multifactorial nature, involving physical, behavioral, environmental, and functional elements 3,[5][6][7] .…”

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of fear of falling among a sample of elderly persons in the community, and to analyze its correlation with age, self-perceived health, difficulty walking, use of an assistive device for walking, history of falls, and functional capacity. Method: A cross-sectional study of 314 non-institutionalized elderly individuals, living in the city of Juiz de Fora in the state of Minas Gerais) in 2015, was carried out. A household survey was conducted and fear of falling was assessed using the Falls Efficacy Scale -International -Brazil (FES-I-BR ASIL). The Spearman correlation was used to verify the correlation of the independent variables with the fear of falling. The significance level for the study was 5%. Results: The prevalence of fear of falling among the elderly was 95.2% (95% CI= 92.3; 97.3). Fear of falling was significantly correlated with all the variables analyzed: age (r= 0.199), self-perceived health (r=0.299), difficulty walking (r= -0.480), use of an assistive device for walking (r=0.337), history of falls (r= -0.177), and functional capacity (r = -0.476). Conclusions: A high prevalence of fear of falling was observed, with a significant correlation between the outcome and the variables studied. These findings point to the need for rehabilitation, prevention, and health promotion strategies that enable healthy aging.

“…MS can be used as a guide to map and categorize older people who present high and low risk of falls. Moreover, it is able to identify the fear of falling in this population 35 . Older people, especially the ones who fall, present mobility reduction and are more likely to have decreased muscle strength caused by aging process and inactivity, with consequent impact on gait, as well as ankle and hips stabilization 4 .…”

Melhora do equilíbrio postural em mulheres idosas com o uso de informação sensorial adicional

RESUMO O processo natural do envelhecimento humano apresenta alterações morfológicas e fisiológicas, como alterações de equilíbrio e da marcha, aumentando o risco de cair. Alguns estudos investigaram a utilização da informação sensorial na melhora do equilíbrio corporal utilizando o toque suave em uma superfície rígida e estacionária, verificando uma redução significativa da oscilação corporal. Avaliou-se os efeitos da informação sensorial adicional durante a marcha em mulheres idosas. Foram avaliadas 30 mulheres com 60 anos ou mais. A adição da informação sensorial foi feita por uma bandagem infrapatelar. As participantes realizaram os testes propostos pelo Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), pelo Timed Up and Go (TUG) e pelo Teste de Caminhada de 10 Metros (TC10m), com e sem a bandagem infrapatelar. As comparações dos dados foram realizadas com o teste t pareado e o teste de Wilcoxon, com p≤0,05. Houve diferença significativa na comparação do TUG (sem bandagem: 10,13±2,1; com bandagem: 9,71±2,1, p=0,0007) e no DGI (sem bandagem: 20,65±2,1; com bandagem: 22,1±2,1, p=0,002). Não houve diferença significativa no uso da bandagem no TC10m. Os resultados mostraram que o uso da informação sensorial adicional gerada pela bandagem infrapatelar promoveu melhora da mobilidade funcional e do desempenho físico em mulheres idosas.

Aims: To identify the prevalence, clinical and functional factors associated with urinary symptoms (US) in community-dwelling older adults with acute low back pain (LBP).Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of data's baseline of Back Complaints in the Elders Consortium. All elders had LPB heightened. We analyzed data on urinary symptoms, intensity of pain (Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), disability (Roland Morris [RM]), depressive symptoms (CES-D), and gait speed (m/s) in the Brazilian older adults. The sample was of 586 consecutive participants of BACE-Study. Ethical approval was obtained. In addition to the prevalence analysis, logistic regression analysis was performed.Results: The prevalence of US was 18.4% and were associated with CES-D (odds ratio [OR] = 2.84; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.66-4.86), slower gait speed (OR = 0.33; 95% CI 0.14-0.78), and LBP-related disability (OR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.04-1.13) after adjusting for radiculophaty and other confounding factors.Conclusions: In community-dwelling older people with LBP, US were associated with depressive symptoms, gait speed, and disability. Our findings may provide a new framework for US management with respect to clinical and functional capacity. Specific physical examinations should be encouraged to assess the with acute LBP and US. Others factors can be associated with US in elders with LBP.
