Declínio de atividades instrumentais de vida diária associado à perda de força de preensão palmar em idosos internados em enfermaria geriátrica

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Verificar a associação entre a capacidade de executar as atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVDs) e a força de preensão palmar em idosos sem comprometimento cognitivo internados em enfermaria geriátrica. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal. Foram incluídos pacientes idosos, com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, de ambos os gêneros, admitidos em enfermaria de Geriatria. Foram excluídos indivíduos com doenças neurológicas, osteomusculares agudas e respiratórias exacerbadas; com indicação médica de repo… Show more

“…A survey on hospitalized elderly patients showed that the ability to go shopping was the only IADL with strong and negative association with decreased muscle strength. In relation to the other activities, an inverse relationship was observed in the present study, i.e., the higher the handgrip strength, the more independent in IADL (r = 0.640, p = 0.025) 22 . Low muscle strength has been related to reduced functional capacity among older adults 23 due to the need for the upper limbs to perform these activities 22 , evidencing the need for actions aimed at improving this component.…”

“…Há diversos tipos de pesquisas que avaliam a FPM em idosos, mas algumas a correlacionam com a flexibilidade (Fidelis et al, 2013;Silva, Menezes, Melo, & Pedraza, 2013), outras revelam que a FPM é preditiva de sarcopenia (Pimentel & Scheicher, 2013) e, ainda, existem estudos que verificam a sua relação com as atividades de vida diárias (Ribeiro & Neri, 2012;Webber, Porter, & Menec, 2010). A média dos valores de força de preensão manual dos idosos dos grupos GSI e GI desta pesquisa foram similares e correlacionaram a média de valores encontrados nos estudos de Macedo, Freitas e Scheicher (2014) e Sugiura et al (2013), mas foram diferentes de Viveiro et al (2014).…”

“…As for the elderly who present limitations in performing instrumental activities of daily living -among which are the ones involving medicines use (Viveiro et al, 2014) -it is crucial that the caregiver takes on the accountability for drug therapy. The elderly's dependence on the caregiver with respect to the drug therapy management is linked, for instance, to memory loss, a common symptom present in dementia syndromes:…”
