Resumo: | AIMS: To investigate the difference between elderly women with and without concern about falls in mobility and vertical ground reaction force during stair descent.METHODS: The study included older women assisted in the Centre for Physical Rehabilitation of the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, aged between 60 and 75 years, without neurological and cardiovascular disease involving risk by the activities of the study. Women with orthoses for locomotion, osteoarticular diseases or surgery of lower limbs, and previous fall history were also excluded. The participants were divided into two groups, with and without concern about falls in daily activities, identified by the Falls Efficacy Scale International translated into Portuguese. To assess mobility, all subjects performed the Timed Up and Go Test. Ground reaction force was assessed by walking steps down five times to collect kinetic data (first peak of the vertical ground reaction force) through a force platform allocated in the fourth step of a staircase of seven steps. After confirmed normality of data, Student t test for independent samples was used to compare the groups.RESULTS: The sample was composed of seventeen elderly women with no concern about falling (aged 66.57±4.1 years) and sixteen elderly women with concerns about falling (aged 66.67±5.8 years). The group without concern with falls performed the Timed Up and Go Test faster (9.71±1,02 seconds) than the group with concern about falls (11.5±1,04 seconds) (p=0.008). There was no difference between groups on the first peak of vertical ground reaction force (p=0.66).CONCLUSIONS: Elderly women with concern about falls had lower performance in the functional test than elderly women with no such concern. However, there was no difference between the groups in terms of the kinetic variable. |

Foram excluídas também idosas com órteses para locomoção, doenças osteoarticulares ou cirurgias de membros inferiores e histórico de queda. As participantes foram divididas em dois grupos, com e sem preocupação com quedas em atividades diárias, identificados pela Falls Efficacy Scale International traduzida para o português. Para avaliação da mobilidade, todas as voluntárias realizaram o teste Timed Up and Go. A força de reação do solo foi avaliada em cinco descidas de escada para coleta dos dados cinéticos (primeiro pico da força vertical de reação do solo) através de uma plataforma de força alocada no quarto degrau de uma escada de sete degraus. Após ser confirmada a normalidade dos dados, o teste t de Student para amostras independentes foi utilizado para comparação entre os grupos.RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por dezessete idosas sem preocupação com quedas (idade de 66,57±4,1 anos) e dezesseis idosas com preocupação com quedas (idade de 66,67±5,8 anos). O grupo sem preocupação com quedas desempenhou o teste Timed Up and Go de forma mais veloz (9,71±1,02 segundos) comparado ao grupo preocupação com quedas (11,5±1,04 segundos) (p=0,008). Não houve diferença entre os grupos para o primeiro pico da força de reação do solo vertical (p=0,66).CONCLUSÕES: Idosas com preocupação com queda apresentaram menor desempenho no teste funcional do que idosas com ausência dessa preocupação. Entretanto, não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto à variável cinética.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2015-01-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/1853910.15448/1980-6108.2014.4.18539Scientia Medica; Vol. 24 No. 4 (2014); 361-367Scientia Medica; v. 24 n. 4 (2014); 361-3671980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2014.4reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
