“…They also show an improvement in the physical performance, activity and agility of the elderly assessed. Current results agree with a study by Pagliosa and Renosto (2014) who, with TUG within the pre-intervention phase, pinpointed a mean rate of 14 s for the execution of the test. After a two-month intervention, a statistically significant decrease in duration was achieved, namely, an improvement in performance, fastness and equilibrium while gait training.…”

“…Ten s is the period classified for the elderly without changes in equilibrium and with low fall risks, considered normal for healthy and independent adults; 11 and 20 s is the period for elderly people without any important equilibrium changes, partially independent but with some weaknesses and average fall risks; a period higher than 20 s is a significant deficit in physical mobility and fall risks (Podsiadlo & Richardson, 1991;Gonçalves, Ricci, & Coimbra, 2009;Pagliosa & Renosto, 2014). Most elderly people in current study revealed duration higher than or equal to 12 s for the TUG test, indicative of average risk in falls.…”

ABSTRACT. To evaluate the equilibrium and flexibility of elderly people submitted to a training program involving physical therapy exercises. Six elderly people were selected, average age 69.66 years. Wells's Bench and the Functional Reach Test (FRT) plus Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) were employed respectively to assess muscle flexibility and balance analysis. Tests were performed before and after the exercise program which consisted of thirty-five 50 min physical therapy group sessions, twice a week, with stretching exercises, gait training, active exercises, postural correction exercises and breathing exercises. Statistical analysis was done with Sigma-Stat ® 3.5. Assessments occurred before and after sessions, and the final test was undertaken after 35 sessions. There was a statistically significant increase in the flexibility of the posterior muscle chain. In the TUG test, the group achieved a shorter time after treatment, with statistical significance between tests. There was a statistically significant increase in the average FRT after the sessions. Current study showed better results in the execution of tests evaluated after the program of physiotherapy activities, contributing towards the improvement of muscle flexibility and balance of elderly people.Keywords: postural balance, muscle stretching exercises, aging, physiotherapy.Análise do equilíbrio e flexibilidade muscular de idosos submetidos a intervenção fisioterapêutica RESUMO. Avaliar o equilíbrio e a flexibilidade de idosos submetidos a um programa de treinamento físico fisioterapêutico. Foram selecionados 6 idosos, com idades média de 69,66 anos. A flexibilidade muscular foi avaliada com o banco de Wells, e para a análise do equilíbrio, o Teste de alcance funcional (TAF) e o teste de levantar e caminhar -Timed Up and Go (TUG). Os testes foram realizados antes e após o programa de exercícios físicos, que consistiu em 35 sessões de fisioterapia em grupo, de 50 min, duas vezes por semana, com exercícios de alongamentos, treino de marcha, exercícios ativos, exercícios de correção postural e exercícios respiratórios. Utilizou-se do software Sigma-Stat ® 3.5 para a análise estatística. A análise foi feita antes e após as sessões, sendo que no teste final, após as 35 sessões, houve um aumento estatisticamente significante da flexibilidade da cadeia muscular posterior. No teste TUG, o grupo apresentou menor tempo após o tratamento, com significância estatística entre os testes realizados, bem como apresentou aumento estatisticamente significativo no valor médio do TAF após as sessões. Este trabalho demonstrou melhores resultados na execução dos testes avaliados após o programa de treinamento físico fisioterapêutico, colaborando para melhora da flexibilidade muscular e do equilíbrio dos idosos estudados.Palavras-chaves: equilíbrio postural, exercício de alongamento muscular, envelhecimento, fisioterapia.

“…Being female, aged 60 to 69 years and living with a significant other were the majority among the elderly who suffered a fall. Studies have shown that being female is a risk factor for falls (5,10,25) . The prevalence of elderly women in the context of aging is due to the higher life expectancy, being called feminization of old age.…”

“…The fall, an unintended event that results in the change of the initial position of the individual to the same level or to a lower level (2) , has its prevalence altered according to the characteristics of the studied elderly population-ranging from 10.7 to 32.1% for the elderly living in the community, since, in institutionalized older adults, that is, residents of long-term institutions, this number increases (66.7%) (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . These data reveal the vulnerability to which elderly people are exposed (7)(8) .…”

Falls of elderly people living in rural areas: prevalence and associated factors

Objective: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with falls in the elderly population living in rural areas. Method: this is a cross-sectional study, carried out in 2014, with 820 older adults recorded in the Family Health Strategy (Estratégia Saúde da Família). The association between the reporting of falls in 12 months and their associated factors was verified by the Chi-square and Fischer’s exact tests and by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: the majority of the sample was female (56.1%), white (90.2%) and aged 60-69 years (54.9%). The prevalence of falls was 27.9%, and being female, hypertensive and diabetic was associated to falls. Conclusion: it is the responsibility of health professionals to have a closer look at the elderly who have these chronic diseases, especially within the scope of the Family Health Strategy, which works longitudinally with these patients, in addition to improving nursing care aimed at this population.

“…This difference can be explained by the physical activity level of the groups, as 43.3% of the NPTG was considered active by the IPAQ against 13.3% of the PTG. Pagliosa and Renosto 27 proposed a physical activity protocol for a group of elders for two months. At the end of the treatment, they noticed an improvement on balance and gait performance, thus reducing risk of falls.…”

| Was compared the performance in simple and dual task in institutionalized older adults who perform and do not perform Physical Therapy. The study involved 60 institutionalized older adults, 30 that performed Physical Therapy (PTG) and 30 that did not perform (NPTG). To assess the performance in simple and dual tasks activities, all participants performed the subsequent activities: one-foot stance test, walking in a corridor for 30 seconds, stepping up and down for 30 seconds, stand up and sit down on a chair for 30 seconds (simple task).After that, the older adults performed the same activities while holding a plastic cup with water (motor dual task), speaking the days of the week in opposite way (cognitive dual task), and holding a plastic cup with water while speaking the days of the week in opposite way (motor and cognitive dual task). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with significance value p≤0,05. We observed differences between the walking tests and in the get up and sit down tests and, the greater the complexity of the task, the lower was the performance of the participants. In the stepping up and down activity, there was difference between groups where the PTG had a better performance compared with the NPTG group. We observed no differences between groups in the one-foot stance test. The dual task led to a reduction in functional performance in both groups: 1 4 9 the institutionalized older adults that performed Physical Therapy and that did not perform.
