“…Here, these symptoms were more important in individuals in the MOG, who had a mean disease duration of eight years, compared with three years in the MIG 17,20 . The greatest impairment in terms of quality of life in the MOG was observed in the domains of mobility, stigma, cognition and ADLs, corroborating the findings of studies by Navarro-Peternella et al, 9 Pinheiro et al, 13 Navarro-Peternella and Marcon 14 , and Quintella et al 21 In the mobility domain, having difficulty doing pleasurable leisure activities was one factor that adversely affected quality of life, a finding also reported in studies by Mandira 22 and Tavares et al 23 . Normal mobility is required to perform ADLs and leisure activities; reduced mobility compromises performance of these activities, limits the activities that can be performed and increases the time required to perform them.…”

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system that evolves slowly and progressively and is characterized by bradykinesia, muscle rigidity and resting tremor among other motor signs and symptoms 1,2 . Quality of life is significantly impaired not only by motor symptoms, but also by non-motor symptoms such as depression, anxiety, pain, constipation, hyposmia and sleep disturbances 3,4 . There are few studies on the incidence and prevalence of PD in Brazil; however, the most recent study shows that the disease affects 3.3% of Brazilians over the age of 60 years 4 . One of the concerns when treating PD patients is to improve their quality of life. This includes their physical, functional and emotional well-being, their degree of independence and their family relationships, as well as social, economic and political aspects of their lives 5,6 . A decline in quality of life in individuals with PD has been associated with worsening motor symptoms and the combination of neurodegenerative phenomena, psychological suffering and stigma associated with the disease

“…The association between a greater number of morbidities and low scores in the physical domains of HRQOL can be related to pain, discomfort, dependency on medication use and need to treat the disease in health services [33][34][35] . These domains have been more sensitive to the impact of chronic disease in other studies using the SF-36, and deserve special attention in the evaluation of individuals, especially with advancing of age 36 .…”

Morbidades referidas e qualidade de vida: estudo de base populacional

92 más, residentes de la ciudad de Bauru, São Paulo, y su asociación con la cantidad de morbilidades referidas. Se realizó una encuesta poblacional mediante una muestra compleja en dos estadios, con un total de 600 participantes de la zona urbana de Bauru. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó los siguientes instrumentos: 1. caracterización de los participantes (aspectos demográficos, socioeconómicos, nivel de actividad física y hábito de fumar); 2. morbilidades (referida mediante la pregunta: "En el último año, usted ha recibido el diagnóstico médico de alguna enfermedad?"); 3. calidad de vida (utilizando el cuestionario Medical Outcomes Study 36 -Item Short-Form Health Survey -SF-36). Se realizó análisis descriptivos y bivariados, mediante la prueba T de Student y Anova. Se observó que 70,5% presentaron por lo menos una enfermedad, y las principales referidas fueron la hipertensión, la artrosis, la depresión y la diabetes. En relación a la asociación entre los números de enfermedades, las personas mayores y las que refirieron tres o más enfermedades presentaron peores scores de QVRS en todos los dominios físicos y en las limitaciones por aspectos sociales y emocionales.El mayor número de morbilidades se asoció a los menores scores de calidad de vida relacionada a la salud.Palabras clave | Morbilidad; Calidad de Vida; Cuestionarios.

“…Compared to commercial walkers, the final price may be considered low, corresponding to about 10% of the researched similar ones. This may facilitate its use, since senior citizens may experience financial limitations due to the fragility deriving from aging (23) .As for the evaluations with senior citizens, FIMLocomotion was an effective tool to provide information about senior citizen functionality. The application of this instrument demonstrated the differences of the sample as for the independence in performing locomotion, in spite of the small average difference among ages.…”

Objective: Develop and evaluate a low-cost walker with trunk support for senior citizens. Method: Two-stage descriptive study: development of a walker with trunk support and evaluation with fourth age senior citizens. Results: Twenty-three fourth age senior citizens were selected. The evaluated criteria were the immediate influence of the walker on the static stabilometry with baropodometer and the evaluation of gait with accelerometers monitoring time and amplitude of the hip movement. There was a significant decrease in the body oscillation of senior citizens with the use of the developed walker, and there were changes in the joint amplitudes of the hip, but they were not significant. Conclusion: Using low-cost materials, it was possible to develop and equipment that met resistance and effectiveness requirements. The walker interfered in the balance of the senior citizens, reducing significantly the static body oscillation. DESCRIPTORSWalkers; Aged, 80 and over; Postural Balance; Low Cost Technology.Development and evaluation of low-cost walker with trunk support for senior citizen* Desenvolvimento e avaliação de andador de baixo custo com suporte de tronco para idosos Desarrollo y evaluación de andador de bajo costo con soporte de tronco para ancianos INTRODUCTIONThe population group called fourth age, or very old senior citizens, is formed by people aged 80 or more (1) . This plot is growing and, according to demographic projections, they will be 30% of the Brazilian population in 2050 (2) . In spite of this growth deriving from the improvement of basic life conditions, functionality cannot follow the passing of time (3)(4) . Therefore, senior citizens are a heterogeneous group as for the independence in completing activities of interest and in the quality of life (2,5) . Among the possible difficulties related to the age increase, there are balance and gait alterations, known as Postural Instability. With the decline of the sensorial capacities and the decrease of biomechanical skills, senior citizens tend to present unbalances and difficulties to maintain orthostatism and, consequently, an independent gait (6) . The most dangerous consequence of these alterations is falling, which may cause fractures and immobilization (4,7) . In these cases, there may be a decrease in the bone mass, reduction of the blood circulation, alterations in the respiratory function, appearance of pressure ulcers, urinary incontinence and intestinal constipation (8) . In addition, falls are the main mortality and morbidity cause among older senior citizens (9) . The occurrence of falling episodes increases with the age, since around 30% of the individuals aged more than 65 falls at least once a year; above 74, this index increases to 35% and after 85 years old, it goes up to 51% (10) . With the intent to stimulate mobility, independence and functionality in senior citizens, it is possible to introduce gait or locomotion helping devices in their routine (11) . Depending on the damage level, it is possible to recommend the ...
