Background: Aging is a dynamic, progressive and physiological process, accompanied by morphological and functional changes, as well as biochemical and psychological changes, resulting in a decrease in the functional reserve of organs and system. With aging, functional losses occur, so the elderly have a greater predisposition to falls. Objective: To compare the propensity to falls between elderly men and women correlating with the level of cognition and balance. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 elderly people, of which 30 were male and 30 were female both aged 65 to 80 years. The propensity to falls was assessed using the “Timed Up and Go” and “Functional Reach” tests, and the state of cognition was assessed by the test “Mini-Mental State Examination”. Results: The results obtained with Time Up and Go, Functional Reach and the Mini-Mental State Examination, indicated that, as the values of one of the variables increase, the values of the other variable increase too; as the values of one of the variables decrease, the values of the other variable increase too. Conclusions: It can be concluded that there was no increased risk of fall when compared the genders; but the female presented altered cognitive deficit.

Introduction:Migraine is a primary headache that is usually severe. It is classified into five main categories, the two most important being migraine without aura and migraine with aura. The common, without aura, is characterized by periodic headaches that are usually pulsatile and unilateral, exacerbated by activities and associated with nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. In academics, headaches lead to loss of days of study and worse academic performance. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of migraine without aura in academics of the Physiotherapy course. Methodology: A total of 217 physiotherapy students over 18 years of age were evaluated, and the headache questionnaire was applied according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition, 2014. Conclusion: It is concluded that there was prevalence of migraine without aura in academics of the Physiotherapy course.

Background:The importance of evaluating the user's perspective when dealing with the quality of health services has been a constant and the user's role as protagonist of this system has a direct impact on improving service. Thus, it is essential to know how users evaluate the care provided to rethink professional practices or intervene in the form of organization of services, to its improvement. Objectives: Assess the degree of patient satisfaction through MedRisk Instrument and identify the item that has the greatest impact on overall satisfaction. Methods/Design: The users of a university clinic of physical therapy, in rheumatology and pediatrics sectors, were asked about their degree of satisfaction, using MedRisk instrument. Results: Forty-six users completed the questionnaire. The 2 global measures means were 4,86 and 4,86 in rheumatology sector; and 4,76 and 4,84 in pediatrics sector. The specific items that had higher level of satisfaction and the highest correlation with overall satisfaction were items 6, 7, 8 and 11. Conclusion: The university physiotherapy clinic was assessed with a high degree of satisfaction to its users and items related to the therapist-patient interaction have more influence on overall satisfaction. Thus demonstrating that the MedRisk instrument is effective, functional and wide applicability.

Background: The temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is one of the most complex disorders of the body, capable of triggering changes in mandibular function and speech articulation. In the case of teachers, probably due to long periods of speech, since it is known that most of them work in classrooms with too many students, end up making use of the voice incorrectly and may lead to changes in the function of the stomatognathic system. Objective: To investigate the association between TMD and mandibular functional limitation in teachers of an elementary school in the city of Uberlandia. Methods: The study was carried out in 49 teachers. The data were collected through Helkimo's Clinical Dysfunction Index (IDCCM) and Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ). Results: It was observed that all teachers in both genders showed some degree of TMD and, consequently, the higher the TMD degree the greater is the changing the jaw function. Conclusions: Based on the data and through studies carried out with this group of teachers, it is concluded that as the TMD degree increases, it causes alteration of the mandibular function and can lead to a decreased in the mandibular amplitude and to limit movement.

Introduction: Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a collective term adding up the entire problems related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the mandibular functional impairment is one of the symptoms of TMD. It is known that the posture influences the onset of TMD, thus, as in the appearance of mandibular functional impairment. Dentists remain in inadequate positions during their workday, thus presenting an important risk factor for the onset of TMD. Objective: To classify temporomandibular dysfunction and mandibular functional impairment in undergraduates of the 8th period of the Dentistry course in the "Centro Universitário do Triângulo-UNITRI", in Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, practical, exploratory with a quantitative approach, epidemiological study carried out through application of two questionnaires: Mandibular Functional Impairment Index (MFIQ) and Clinical Dysfunction Index (IDCCM or Helkimo Index). Results: The results found in the present study showed a higher prevalence of moderate TMD (70,83%), followed by mild TMD (16.67%) and severe TMD (12,50%) and all participants were classified with mandibular functional impairment of low severity. Conclusion: The results of this research showed a high prevalence of moderate TMD in dentistry students and that there is no correlation between TMD and mandibular functional impairment. It was observed that many students had pain in the neck and/or shoulder.
