Influência do exercício físico supervisionado e domiciliar sobre o controle postural de indivíduos idosos: ensaio clínico randomizado para prevenção de quedas

The Importance of Physical Therapy in the Evaluation of Fall Prevention Programs in Older Adults

“…41 Corroborating this evidence, a supervised physical exercise protocol for preventing falls in elderly individuals with a duration of 10 weeks, in which sessions were held twice a week lasting 55 minutes, and where static and dynamic balance exercises, stretching, and relaxation were provided, helped reduce the risk of falling. 42 Once there is a loss of balance, the risk of falling increases significantly. Therefore, it is necessary for professionals to work in this capacity with their patients.…”

“…Hernandez et al 36 showed that an exercise program lasting 26 weeks (frequency 3 times a week) and lasting 60 minutes in duration resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of falls, as it improved balance, agility, and muscle strength in the postintervention group compared with the control group. The interventions used included motor 43 Martins et al (2016) 44 Mendes et al (2016) 41 Hallal et al (2014) 39 Hernandez et al (2010) 36 Fernandes et al (2012) 37 Pagliosa and Renosto (2014) 38 Tanaka et al (2016) 42 Gill et al (2016) 45 Britten et al (2017) 46 Random allocation and cognitive stimulation, stretching, muscle strength, circuits, balance, flexibility, agility, and aerobic capacity. Because of this improvement, there was a decrease in the risk of falling since there was an improvement in the physical condition of the patient; in addition, the practice of exercises contributed to the improvement in cognition of the population in question.…”

Equilíbrio de idosas após aplicação de diferentes protocolos de exercícios

“…A literatura mostra que a reabilitação dos idosos deve incluir, além de exercícios vestibulares, treinos específicos de equilíbrio, fortalecimento muscular, principalmente de tronco e membros inferiores (com ou sem carga) e estimulação proprioceptiva, para reduzir o risco de quedas. (23) Tanaka et al (24) ainda complementam que este risco diminui de 15 a 50% quando estes indivíduos realizam alguma dessas atividades.…”

Effectiveness assessment of a home-based exercise intervention in mitigating HTLV-1 associated disabilities: A validation study

“…Home exercise allows removing the accessibility of training facilities [38], is economical [39][40][41] and reduces barriers to expenditure of locomotion time [39]. In addition, standardized home exercise protocols guided by socio-educational materials such as booklets have been identified as effective in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases and in stimulating the individual's autonomy to deal with their condition [42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
