Clinical Trial Description

Experimental, prospective and quantitative study, whose sample was selected for convenience in a long-term care institution for the elderly (LTCF) in the city of Uberaba - MG.

Participants underwent a pre- and post evaluation containing vital signs parameters (blood pressure, respiratory rate and heart rate), anthropometric data (weight and height) and different tests to evaluate the balance, functional mobility, risk of falls, muscle strength and independence to carry out basic activities of daily living. The performed tests were Timed Up and Go (TUG) conventional, motor TUG and TUG cognitive, beyond Romberg test and Sensitized Romberg, Berg Balance Scale, and modified Katz scale (with maintenance of the six original activities of the scale, but with simulation to the performance of each task, measuring the spent time). ;
