Resumo: Decreased plantar skin sensitivity may result in reduced postural control in the elderly, making them more susceptible to falls. The objective of this study was to verify the influence of a plantar cutaneous stimulation program on the sensitivity threshold and postural control in elderly individuals. This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind clinical study involving 36 elderly individuals older than 60 years of age of both sexes, submitted to the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test to measure functional mobility, unipedal stance test to evaluate static balance, and evaluation of plantar sensitivity by sensation threshold test with nylon monofilaments. Elderly were divided into two groups. The control group did not undergo any intervention and was instructed not to change their lifestyle. The experimental group was oriented to perform home interventions for 3 weeks. After this period, all participants were reassessed. Results revealed that both groups showed higher plantar skin sensibility after 3 weeks, but no changes were observed in postural control. Both groups showed improvement in plantar cutaneous sensitivity, and there was no difference between them.

El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar la influencia de un programa de estimulación cutánea plantar sobre el umbral de sensibilidad y control postural en individuos ancianos. Este fue un estudio clínico prospectivo, aleatorizado y simple ciego en el que participaron 36 individuos mayores de 60 años de ambos sexos, sometidos a la prueba Timed Up and Go (TUG), para medir la movilidad funcional, prueba de apoyo unipodal para evaluar el equilibrio estático, y evaluar la sensibilidad plantar por estosiometría con monofilamentos de nylon. Los ancianos se dividieron en dos grupos. El grupo control no pasó por ninguna intervención y fue orientado a no cambiar el estilo de vida. El grupo experimental fue orientado a realizar intervenciones domiciliares por 3 semanas. Después de ese período, todos los participantes fueron reevaluados. Los resultados revelaron que ambos grupos presentaron mayor sensibilidad cutánea plantar después de 3 semanas, pero no se observaron alteraciones en el control postural. Ambos grupos demostraron una mejora en relación a la sensibilidad cutánea plantar, y no hubo diferencia entre ellos. A diminuição da sensibilidade cutânea plantar pode resultar na redução do controle postural em idosos, tornando-os mais suscetíveis a quedas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência de um programa de estimulação cutânea plantar, sobre o limiar de sensibilidade e controle postural em indivíduos idosos. Este foi um estudo clínico prospectivo, randomizado e simples-cego, no qual participaram 36 indivíduos idosos acima de 60 anos de idade de ambos os sexos, submetidos ao teste Timed Up and Go (TUG), para mensurar a mobilidade funcional, teste de apoio unipodal para avaliar o equilíbrio estático, e avaliação da sensibilidade plantar por estesiometria com monofilamentos de nylon. Os idosos foram divididos em dois grupos. O grupo-controle não passou por nenhuma intervenção e foi orientado a não mudar o estilo de vida. Já o grupo-experimental foi orientado a realizar intervenções domiciliares por 3 semanas. Após esse período, todos os participantes foram reavaliados. Os resultados revelaram que ambos os grupos apresentaram maior sensibilidade cutânea plantar após 3 semanas; porém, não foram observadas alterações no controle postural. Ambos os grupos demonstraram melhora em relação à sensibilidade cutânea plantar, e não houve diferença entre eles.Palavras-chave: Idoso; Equilíbrio Postural; Envelhecimento.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2018-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/4343810.23925/2176-901X.2018v21i3p281-292Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 21 n. 3 (2018); 281-2922176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/43438/28880Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlfieri, Fábio MarconVieira, Carolyne FreitaSouza, Dóris Sá deAzevedo, Larissa Antunes deVargas e Silva, Natália Cristina de Oliveira2019-11-29T18:06:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/43438Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T18:06:09Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
