“…They concluded that PSA was extremely useful for elderly even if it had not been a lifelong habit as it may prevent reduction in muscle mass and strength and it has a positive effect on balance control. This is supported by Hayashi et al [20] who investigated postural balance in one hundred and fifty seven independent individuals aged 60 plus and discovered that a group with a more preserved exercise capacity had better postural balance and higher levels of physical activity in daily life (PADL) than older adults with poorer condition in terms of exercise capacity.…”

Recent research indicates that the number of people aged over 60 years is rising faster than any other age group which will put increased financial and social strains on all countries. One major focus of various health and social care agencies is not only to keep these older individuals healthy but also physically active and independent. Many older people lead inactive lives which together with the ageing process lead to physiological changes which have potentially damaging effects on balance control and are risk factors for falls. Research shows that physical activity improves mental health, often stimulates social contacts and can help older people remain as independent as possible. This paper has attempted to review existing research on physical activities and exercise intervention used to improve balance in older adults. Using relevant databases and keywords, 68 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Results indicate that many traditional activities can help to improve balance in older adults. However, further investigations need to be conducted into activities that are not generally considered appropriate for older people but may be enjoyable and have health benefits and may help to improve balance in this population.

“…Also, these authors presented that this better exercise capacity present higher levels of physical activity in daily life than those with poor exercise capacity measured by subjective questionnaire modified of Baecke for older people and objectively by pedometer. The ISWT is a simple and inexpensive test, which evaluates maximal exercise capacity based on the distance walked around a 10 m course according to different speeds dictated by an audio signal (Probst et al, 2012). The Baczkowicz et al (2008) also observed a moderate relationship (r = -.63) between postural control measured by the area of COP sway using a force platform and distance/velocity walking measured by the 6MWT in older adults.…”

“…In general, functional tests such as the 6MWT (distance walking measure) or time limit variables (mobility timed-up-and-go or one-leg balance) can help health professionals to better objectively assess the physical capacity of an individual and in turn, identify those with balance problems and, consequently, increased risks of falls (Ansai, Aurichio, & Rebelatto, 2015). Hayashi et al (2012) reported that older adults with more preserved exercise capacity than those with poor capacity, measured by a maximal exercise test namely Incremental Shuttle Walking Test -ISWT, present better postural control measured by COP sway variables of a force platform (Area and velocity of COP). Also, these authors presented that this better exercise capacity present higher levels of physical activity in daily life than those with poor exercise capacity measured by subjective questionnaire modified of Baecke for older people and objectively by pedometer.…”

Abstract--Postural instability can be related to functional limitations as a result of the aging process. This study aimed to compare functional exercise capacity and postural control in older adults. Participants were allocated into three groups according to their functional exercise capacity based on the six minute walking test (6MWT): 1) Low performance group (LP: distance walked ≤ 80% of the predicted value n = 19), 2) Normal performance group (NP: distance walked 81-100% of the predicted value n = 21) and, 3) High performance group (HP: distance walked >100% of the predicted value n = 23). All groups performed three trials of a one-leg stance for 30s on a force platform. LP showed worse postural control in comparison to NP and HP, and significant differences (p < .05) were found between groups for area, velocity antero-posterior of center of pressure and time limit variables during the one-leg stance task. These results have implications for rehabilitation management with regard to exercise, balance assessment and intervention in older adults.Keywords: postural control, exercise, performance, aging Resumo--"A capacidade funcional de exercício pode discriminar idosos com pior controle postural?" Instabilidade postural pode estar relacionada com as limitações funcionais, como um resultado do processo de envelhecimento. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar a capacidade funcional de exercício e o controle postural em indivíduos idosos. Os participantes foram separados em três grupos de acordo com sua capacidade funcional de exercício baseada no teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6min): 1) grupo baixo desempenho (BD: distância caminhada ≤ 80% do valor predito n = 19), 2) grupo normal desempenho (ND : distância caminhada 81-100% do valor predito n = 21) e, 3) grupo alto desempenho (AD: distância caminhada >100% do valor predito n = 23). Todos os grupos realizaram três testes com apoio unipodal permanecendo por 30s sobre a plataforma de força. BD apresentou pior equilíbrio postural em comparação com ND e AD; com diferenças significativas (p < 0,05) encontradas entre os grupos para os parâmetros de área e velocidade antero-posterior do centro de pressão e a variável tempo-limite durante a posição unipodal. Estes resultados têm implicações para estratégias de reabilitação no que diz respeito ao exercício, avaliação do equilíbrio e intervenção em idosos.

“…Correlation between the TUGT and the force platform presented no relationship in both groups of women, older and young adults, which is consonant with some previous studies [21][22][23] . These studies showed diversity in functional outcomes such as tests and balance scales, correlating them with postural oscillations identified in high-tech equipment as force platform, verifying little or no relation, which can demonstrate that these functional tests are not able to deepen within the neuromuscular balance 24 .…”

RESUMO O envelhecimento é um processo natural que acarreta mudanças intrínsecas e extrínsecas ao organismo. O objetivo é analisar cinco tarefas de equilíbrio postural em idosas através da Plataforma de força, correlacionando com o risco de quedas avaliado pelo teste Timed Up and Go (TUG). Participaram do estudo 43 idosos e 40 adultos jovens, todos do sexo feminino, que foram avaliadas em uma plataforma de força com um protocolo padrão: descalças, com os braços ao longo do corpo nas tarefas bipodal e semitandem, ambos olhos abertos e fechados, apoio unipodal utilizando o centro de oscilação postural (COP) e as velocidades nos eixos anteroposterior (Vel AP) e médio-lateral (Vel ML). Após 5 minutos de descanso, realizou-se o TUG. Os resultados mostraram que as idosas tiveram maior instabilidade postural (p<0.05) em relação às adultas jovens, e a tarefa que mais desafiou o equilíbrio foi o apoio unipodal COP 10,02 (cm2) Vel AP 3,00 (cm/s) e Vel ML 3,32 (cm/s), e as idosas tiveram um tempo médio no TUG de 9,01 segundos considerando um baixo risco de quedas. Conclusão: Idosas apresentam um maior déficit no equilíbrio em relação às jovens, sendo a tarefa de apoio UNP a que mais apresentou desafios no controle postural das duas populações. Idosas saudáveis apresentaram um baixo risco para as quedas, nenhuma correlação foi encontrada entre o equilíbrio postural através da plataforma de força e risco de quedas do TUG.
