“…Isso pode ser verificado na construção de calçamentos irregulares, presença de degraus, ausência de corrimão nas escadas e rampas, semáforos com tempo inadequado para a travessia, entre outros dispositivos que se fossem adequados facilitariam a vida do idoso respeitando suas limitações (16) .…”

IV RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os principais fatores causadores de quedas em idosos de dois serviços de pronto atendimento, no Rio Grande do Sul. Pesquisa quantitativa, do tipo survey, descritiva, com 39 idosos, aos quais se aplicou entrevista para verificar perfil, questões relacionadas à saúde, condições da moradia relacionada a queda vivenciada, no possuíam escadas sem corrimões. Espera-se sensibilizar os profissionais da área da saúde/população para a ameaça das quedas em idosos.Descritores: Idoso; Acidentes por quedas; Serviço Hospitalar de Emergência; Enfermagem. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to identify the main factors causing falls among the aged in two emergency care units in Rio Grande do Sul. Quantitative research, survey study, descriptive, with 39 aged, which was applied to verify profile interview, questi ons related to health, housing conditions related to the fall experienced in the period December 2009 to April 2010. Used the SPSS software to perform descriptive analysis. It was found that 22 (56.4%) were women, 19 (48.7%) were between 70-79 years, 27 (69.2) fell in the last 12 months, 15 (38.5% ) fell more than 2 times last year. As the homes of aged: 37 (94.9%) furniture are sharp, 35 (89.7%) had degrees, 27 (69.2%) had loose rugs, 20 (51.3%) were slippery, 12 (30.8%) had stairs without handrails. It is hoped to raise awareness among professionals in the health/population to the threat of falls in older adults.Descriptors: Aged; Accidental Falls; Emergency Service Hospital; Nursing. RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los principales factores de las caídas en los ancianos de dos unidades de atenció n de emergencia en Río Grande do Sul. Investigación cuantitativa, estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, con 39 ancianos, que se aplicó la entrevista para verificar el perfil, las preguntas relacionados con la salud, condiciones de vivienda relacionados con la caída experimentada en el período diciembre 2009-abril 2010. Se utilizó el software SPSS para realizar el análisis descriptivo. Se encontró que 22 (56,4%) eran mujeres, 19 (48,7%) tenían entre 70-79 años, 27 (69.2) se redujo en los últimos 12 meses, 15 (38,5% ) se redujo más de 2 veces el año pasado. Como las casas de los ancianos: 37 (94,9%) muebles son agudos, 35 (89,7%) tenían grados, 27 (69,2%) tenían alfombras sueltas, 20 (51,3%) eran resbalosas, 12 (30,8%) tenían escaleras sin pasamanos. Se espera crear conciencia entre los profesionales de la salud y la población a la amenaza de las caídas en los ancianos.

“…They are treated as highly relevant epidemiological, social and economic factor in the whole world as it is the most common type of accident among the elderly 4 . A fall is characterized as a serious risk since it can potentially lead to complications, such as hypoactivity, social isolation, depression, institutionalization, reduces the quality of life [5][6][7] , loss of confidence, dependence in basic functional activities and even death 8 . It is noteworthy that both the incidence and severity of falls increases considerably after the sixth decade of life, tripling the rates of hospitalization of the elderly after 65 years 3 .…”

Background: The diagnosis of clinical parameters associated with falls in the elderly has become a major challenge for the scientific community. Despite the existence of several tools aiming to assess body balance in the elderly, it is still scarce the number of studies that have investigated and discussed the agreement between different methods. Objective: To analyze the correlation between tests used to assess the body balance in the elderly. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study conducted with 30 healthy female community-dwelling elderly volunteers with different levels of physical conditioning. The Functional Reach Test (FRT), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment of Balance (POMA) were used.The data analysis was performed by using the Spearmam's rank correlation coefficient, with a significance level of 5% (p≤0.05). Results:There was positive and moderate correlation between the FRT and BBS (r=0.4845, p=0.0067), between FRT and POMA (r=0.4136, p=0.0231), and between BBS and POMA (r=0.6088, p=0.0004). Conclusion: The tests are complementary since they showed specific and distinct limitations. It is reasonable, therefore, to use these instruments together to get better assessment of elderly body balance. ResumoContextualização: Diagnosticar os parâmetros clínicos associados com as quedas em idosos tornou-se um grande desafio para a comunidade científica. Apesar da existência de diversos instrumentos direcionados à avaliação do equilíbrio corporal em idosos, ainda é escasso o número de trabalhos que investigaram e discutiram a concordância entre os diversos métodos. Objetivo: Analisar a correlação entre alguns testes usados para avaliar o equilíbrio corporal no idoso. Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, observacional, realizado com 30 voluntárias idosas comunitárias, hígidas, com diferentes níveis de condicionamento físico. Foram utilizados o Teste de Alcance Funcional Anterior (TAF), a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), o teste Timed Up and Go (TUG) e o Teste de Equilíbrio de Tinetti (Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment -POMA). A correlação dos dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação do Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). Resultados: Observou-se correlação positiva e moderada entre o TAF e a EEB (r=0,4845; p=0,0067), entre o TAF e a POMA (r=0,4136; p= 0,0231), entre a EEB e a POMA (r=0,6088; p=0,0004). Conclusão: Os testes são complementares, dado que se mostraram com particularidades e limitações distintas.Torna-se razoável, portanto, a aplicação conjunta desses instrumentos para melhor avaliar o equilíbrio de idosas.Palavras-chave: avaliação geriátrica; fisioterapia; equilíbrio corporal.

“…However, in the present study, during the one-foot stance, individuals of the MAG group showed higher TD than individuals of the EG group, and the individuals of the YG group. Possibly, for the individuals of the EG, these differences were the result of effects of practice in regular physical exercises (Lojudice, 2008), therefore, improving postural stability and reducing the risk for falls (Nardone & Schieppati, 2010;Pimentel & Scheicher, 2009).…”

The aim of the study was to compare static postural balance of healthy individuals of three age groups in different conditions of support and vision. Seventy one individuals, divided into 3 groups, were analyzed: young group (YG: 22.2 ± 2.1 years), middle aged group (MAG: 50.7 ± 5.7 years) and older individuals group (EG: 66.8 ± 5.4 years). Their balance was tested on a force platform, under 3 support and 3 visual conditions. Measures included: total (TD), anterior-posterior (APD) and mediolateral displacement (MLD) of the center of pressure (CoP). ANOVA revealed significant differences for interactions between group X support conditions and group X visual conditions for the 3 variables (p<0.01), with greater displacements for the MAG and EG groups during single-leg stance with partial and occluded vision (p<0.05). Static postural balance decreased over time in healthy individuals, and conditions of support and visual negatively affected balance with the increment of age.
