“…[1][2] Fall episodes are associated with high costs with regard to both individual quality of life and social welfare. 3 With estimated incidence of 32.5% to 68% in long-term care (LTC) institutions, falls are an issue for institutionalized elderly people, who show significantly higher incidence of the problem than the elderly people living in communities.…”

“…Estudos demonstraram os efeitos positivos do EF praticado com regularidade sobre a velocidade da marcha, o controle da postura corporal, os níveis de força dos membros inferiores e medo de quedas (24,25) . Segundo a literatura especializada, o aumento da idade exerce forte papel na ocorrência de quedas (4,5,10) . Logo, a população de octogenários é considerada como potencial caidora (26) .…”

“…Fatores extrínsecos estão relacionados às condições do meio ambiente, como uma iluminação deficitária e obstáculos dispostos inadequadamente nas ruas ou nos cômodos da casa. Já fatores intrínsecos dizem respeito ao conjunto de comorbidades próprias do processo do envelhecimento humano (9) , dentre os quais, destacamse: depressão (10) ; comprometimento neuromuscular (11) ; declínio cognitivo, responsável pelo déficit de atenção e memória (12) ; distúrbios no controle do equilíbrio estático e dinâmico (13) ; baixa do padrão da marcha (14) ; além de efeitos colaterais sobrevindos de interações medicamentosas (6) . Uma medida conhecida, frequentemente aplicada na prevenção de quedas, eficaz e de baixo custo incide na prática regular do exercício físico (EF) (15) .…”

“…The effectiveness of a multifactorial exercise approach on the incidence of falls, falling risk, consequences of falls, and functional performance have been investigated before (8,30). In these studies, it was indicated that purposeful physical activity was effective and useful in terms of falls, but how fall efficacy should be measured and which intervention programs control the falling risk and FOF could not be determined.…”
