Resumo: | AIMS: The purposes of this study were to characterize and to describe the posture of elderly who practice physical activities. METHODS: Elderly participants of the Third Age Study Group at the Santa Catarina State University, between 60 and 80 years old, who practiced physical activity for at least two days a week, were studied. Data were obtained through computerized photogrammetry using the Postural Assessment Software (PAS/SAPO) in anterior, posterior and side views. Descriptive statistics were performed by using the mean and standard deviation. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 40 subjects, 34 women and six men. Postural characteristics in the anterior view were head rotation, lifting shoulders, scapula and pelvis, and internal rotation of the lower limbs; in the posterior view were right and left valgus hindfoot; and, in the side view, were the head forward, backward inclination of the trunk, hip extension, pelvic anteversion and flexed knees. CONCLUSIONS: Some postural features observed in seniors engaged in physical activity were similar to those found in normal aging. However, inclination of trunk backward and extension of the hip differed from the typical flexor posture of the elderly. We believe that these features are a consequence of physical exercises that promote the strengthening of the extensor muscles, important for maintaining the correct posture. |

MÉTODOS: Foram estudados idosos com idade entre 60 e 80 anos, do Grupo de Estudos da Terceira Idade da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, que praticavam atividade física por pelo menos dois dias na semana. Os dados foram obtidos por fotogrametria computadorizada com o Software para Avaliação Postural (SAPO) nas vistas laterais, anterior e posterior. Foi realizada estatística descritiva por meio de média e desvio padrão. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 40 idosos, sendo 34 mulheres e seis homens. As características posturais encontradas na vista anterior foram rotação da cabeça, elevação de ombros, escápula e pelve e rotação interna dos membros inferiores; na vista posterior foi valgismo de retropé, tanto direito quanto esquerdo; e, na vista lateral, foram anteriorização da cabeça, inclinação do tronco para trás, extensão de quadril, anteversão pélvica e joelhos fletidos. CONCLUSÕES: Algumas características posturais observadas nos idosos ativos foram semelhantes àquelas encontradas no envelhecimento normal. No entanto, a inclinação do tronco para trás e a extensão do quadril diferiram da postura flexora típica dos idosos. Acreditamos que estas características sejam consequência dos exercícios físicos que promovem o fortalecimento da musculatura extensora, importante para a manutenção da postura correta.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2014-02-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/1980-6108.2013.4.1473010.15448/1980-6108.2013.4.14730Scientia Medica; Vol. 23 No. 4 (2013); 244-249Scientia Medica; v. 23 n. 4 (2013); 244-2491980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2013.4reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
