“…The loss or decline of balance results in a major public health problem: falls. The imbalance results from interactions of the musculoskeletal, visual, and sensorimotor systems and related functional tasks that undergo changes with senescence, such as sarcopenia, proprioceptive alterations, joint stiffness, postural alignment, latency and temporal incoordination of muscle activation [1][2][3][4].…”

Virtual reality therapy (VRT) has clinical indications in rehabilitation programs for the elderly; however, there is still no consensus on the recovery of body balance. The objective of this review was to summarize the effects of physical therapy interventions with VRT in the rehabilitation of balance in the elderly. The studies were identified via a systematic search in the databases PubMed, SciELO, LILACS and PEDro from 2010 onward. Clinical trials with interventions that involved VRT in the elderly were included in the study and were subjected to methodological quality analysis using the PEDro scale. A random effects meta-analysis of the studies that analyzed balance using the Berg Balance Scale and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed. Ten articles met the inclusion criteria, which presented variability in relation to the types of interventions used (70%) and the outcomes analyzed (60%). The mean duration of the interventions was 13.90 (± 5.08) weeks, with at least two weekly sessions (± 0.73). There were positive results in relation to improvements in both dynamic and static balance (70% of the studies), mobility (80%), flexibility (30%), gait (20%) and fall prevention (20%). A summary of the meta-analysis showed mean effects on the Berg scale (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -0.848; 95% CI: -1.161; − 0.535) and the TUG test (SMD: 0. 894; 95% CI: 0.341; 1.447). Individually, virtual reality is promising in rehabilitation programs for the elderly. The overall measures were sufficient to show beneficial effects of the therapy on balance in the elderly.

Objectives: To identify compromised domains of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) for elderly individuals with leg ulcers and correlate their clinical and sociodemographic variables with the SF-36's components. Method: Exploratory and cross-sectional study conducted with 50 elderly individuals with leg ulcers. The instruments were the sociodemographic and clinical form and the SF-36. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyze data. Results: Most were married, retired, and received one times the minimum wage, were Caucasians or of mixed race, and had hypertension. In regard to the SF-36, the most compromised domain was physical limitations, while social aspects and general health status were the less compromised domains. The SF-36 domains were not correlated with age, income, duration or size of the lesion or pain. Conclusion: The ulcer-related biopsychosocial aspects need to be considered in order to devise more effective nursing interventions.

RESUMENLa fonoaudiología es una disciplina relativamente nueva en Chile por lo cual se encuentra en pleno proceso de crecimiento y desarrollo. En este contexto, en el área de Motricidad Orofacial ha surgido hace algunos años una subespecialidad denominada "estética facial" que aborda la musculatura facial y sus alteraciones, ya sean secundarias al proceso natural de envejecimiento y/o a factores externos. Brasil, país pionero en esta práctica, ha desarrollado diversos planes de intervención en salud. A través de la creación de Núcleos de Apoyo a la Salud de la Familia, se ha incluido la estética facial en el contexto de atención primaria de salud. Es así que en la ciudad de Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais se ha desarrollado un programa de estética facial con el objetivo de fomentar la integración del cuidado físico y mental de los usuarios. La evidencia científica muestra los resultados de la fonoaudiología estética, relajando la musculatura facial, disminuyendo arrugas y líneas de expresión y mejorando la sensación de bienestar de las personas. Se plantea la importancia de ampliar el conocimiento del profesional fonoaudiólogo chileno y desarrollar nuevas áreas de desempeño para contribuir en el beneficio de la población.Palabras clave: fonoaudiología, motricidad orofacial, estética facial, fonoaudiología estética, atención primaria de salud. ABSTRACTSpeech Therapy is relatively new discipline in Chile, therefore, it is in the process of growth and development. As part of the orofacial motricity area, a new specialty has began to develop: Facial esthetic. This new area deals with facial muscles and their alterations caused by natural aging processes and/or external factors. Brazil, a pioneer country in this practice, has developed several health intervention plans. In this respect, facial esthetic has been included in the context of primary health care, through the creation of Family Health Support Centers. For instance, a program of facial esthetic has been implemented in the city of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. This program aims to promote the integration of physical and mental care. Scientific evidence shows that esthetic's speech therapy produce relaxation of facial muscles, reducing wrinkles and fine lines and improving the people's sense of well-being. Therefore, increasing the knowledge about this area in Chilean speech therapists and developing new areas of professional performance would be important issues to address.
