O comprometimento proprioceptivo decorrente do envelhecimento aumenta o risco de queda entre os idosos. Exercício físico pode atenuar o processo de declínio da sensação consciente da posição do corpo. Esta revisão sistemática teve como objetivo associar estudos que relacionam o exercício físico com a propriocepção em idosos. Realizou-se uma busca em três bases de dados eletrônicas (Pubmed/Mediline, Lilacs e Scopus) nos últimos 10 anos com a seguinte associação de descritores: (elderly OR aged) AND (proprioception OR position sense) AND exercise. A busca gerou 271 artigos e após aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão, nove estudos foram selecionados para compor a revisão sistemática. Todos os artigos mostraram uma associação entre propriocepção e algum exercício físico. Tai chi chuan e Sessões de treinamento multifatorial foram as modalidades que apareceram com maior frequência entre os estudos (33 e 56% respectivamente), outras atividades compreenderam golfe, natação, corrida, fortalecimento muscular, flexibilidade, caminhada, exercícios de agilidade, equilíbrio, postura e de propriocepção. Tai chi chuan, séries multifatoriais, golfe e exercícios de propriocepção demonstraram ser as estratégias mais espressivas na melhoria da propriocepção entre os idosos.

“…With aging the body changes are numerous, such as loss of muscle mass, biomechanics and postural changes, and increased balance deficit (increasing the risk of falling). Being considered the great fragility factor the fall can lead numerous sequels or even the death of the elderly directly or Indirectly way [1,2]. The factor related to loss can be determined by specific causes may be intrinsic nature (associated with the individual) or extrinsic (which is related to the environment), thereby resulting in high risk fracture [2].…”

Patient, 62, male, suffered a fall in his residence and suffered a distal 1/3 intra-articular tibia fractures (type of tibial pilon fracture, Grade III), held a surgery for bone reconstruction with the need to use metallic synthesis, later came to develop osteomyelitis, achieve chronic and severe stage. He don`t responded to antibiotics, it was decided to perform the amputation member. From the time when the first operation after fracture and to make the second transtibial amputation, intense physical therapy for 06 weeks was carried out, with positive results in a short period of time, it appears that the treatment of pre amputation accelerates the process of prosthesis, gait, balance and therefore the return of their activities of daily living.

“…2 Consequently, addressing problems that impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of elderly adults living alone has become an important global public health challenge. 3,4 Loneliness is prevalent among elderly people living alone and may limit their access to social relationships and their ability to obtain sufficient social support. 5 China is the world's most populous country and has undergone enormous and rapid social and economic change over the last few decades.…”

Objectives: To describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL), sex differences in HRQoL, and factors affecting the HRQoL of elderly people living alone in urban areas of Shaanxi Province, China. Methods: A cohort was obtained using multistage stratified cluster random sampling. We collected cross-sectional data using surveys. HRQoL was measured using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey. Multivariable multilevel linear regression analysis was used to examine factors associated with mental and physical health component summary scores. Results: Overall, 442 elderly Chinese individuals who lived alone completed the survey (mean age 73 years, women: 59%). Women were more likely to report better mental health than men. Factors significantly associated with reduced mental health scores were older age, having never been married or being divorced, and having a history of cancer, urinary tract disease, fractures or gastrointestinal disorders. Factors associated with physical health were having never been married or being divorced and having hypertension.

Strategic targeted exercise for preventing falls in elderly people

Abstract: This study demonstrated that strategic targeted exercise could produce more beneficial effects on balance and proprioception function than conventional exercise alone, in elderly people.
