Resumo: The increase in the elderly population consequently generates an increase in elderly people who drive, thus, there is a concern with the physical conditions of the elderly driver, given the possible risks in traffic. The present study aimed to identify gait speed (GS) and hand grip strength (HGS) in the elderly who underwent evaluation for vehicle clearance. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. 63 elderly people (≥60 years old) who took the exams for renewal of the National Driver's License, in a traffic clinic participated in the study. The elderly were aged between 60 and 85 years (mean 67.95 ± 6.23years) and most men 82.5% (n = 52). The results showed for GS mean values ​of 1.11 ± 0.26 m / (meters per second). For the elderly considered fit with restriction for vehicular habilitation, the average GS was 1.07 ± 0.29 m / s, for the fit 1.16 ± 0.21 m / s and for the unfit temporarily 1.26 m / s. For the HGS, the mean values for the right hand were 38.60 ± 4.55kgf and the left hand 36.24 ± 5.342kgf. For the elderly categorized as fit with restriction, the mean HGS of the right hand was 38.96 ± 4.6kgf and the left hand was 37.29 ± 4.6kgf, for the fit elderly this average for the right hand was 38.63 ± 4.3kgf and left hand 35.82 ± 5.5kgf. The hand grip strength and gait speed as health markers can be considered important indicators of the physical condition of the elderly driver as variables of screening and monitoring.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar la velocidad de la marcha (VM) y la fuerza de agarre (FA) en los adultos mayores que se sometieron a evaluación para el paso del vehículo. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo transversal. Participaron del estudio 63 personas mayores (≥60 años) que se sometieron a los exámenes de renovación de la Licencia Nacional de Conducir, en una clínica de tránsito. Los adultos mayores tenían entre 60 y 85 años (media 67,95 ± 6,23 años) y la mayoría de los hombres 82,5% (n = 52). Los resultados mostraron valores medios de VM de 1,11 ± 0,26 m / (metros por segundo). Para los adultos mayores considerados aptos con restricción para habilitación vehicular, la VM promedio fue de 1.07 ± 0.29 m / s, para los aptos 1.16 ± 0.21 m / sy para los no aptos temporalmente 1.26 m / s. Para el FA, los valores medios para la mano derecha fueron 38,60 ± 4,55 kgf y la mano izquierda 36,24 ± 5,342 kgf. Para los adultos mayores categorizados como aptos con restricción, la media de FA de la mano derecha fue 38,96 ± 4,6 kgf y la mano izquierda fue 37,29 ± 4,6 kgf, para los adultos mayores aptos este promedio para la mano derecha fue 38,63 ± 4,3 kgf y la mano izquierda 35,82 ± 5,5 kgf. La fuerza de la mano y la velocidad de la marcha como marcadores de salud pueden ser consideradas importantes indicadores de la condición física del conductor de edad avanzada como variables de detección y monitoreo.O aumento da população idosa gera, consequentemente, um crescimento de idosos que dirigem veículos; desse modo, há uma preocupação com as condições físicas desses motoristas, diante de possíveis riscos no trânsito. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar a velocidade da marcha (VM) e a força de preensão manual (FPM) de idosos submetidos à avaliação para habilitação veicular. Trata-se de um estudo de transversal descritivo. Participaram do estudo 63 idosos (≥60 anos) que realizaram os exames para renovação da Carteira Nacional de Habilitação, em uma clínica de trânsito. Os idosos apresentaram idade entre 60 e 85 anos (média 67,95±6,23) e em sua maioria, homens 82,5% (n=52). Os resultados mostraram para a VM valores médios de 1,11±0,26 m/ (metros por segundo). Em idosos considerados aptos com restrição para habilitação veicular, a VM média foi de 1,07±0,29 m/s; para os aptos, 1,16±0,21 m/s e, para os inaptos temporariamente, 1,26 m/s. Para a FPM, os valores de média para a mão direita foi de 38,60±4,55kgf; e mão esquerda, 36,24±5,342kgf. Quanto aos categorizados como aptos com restrição, a média da FPM da mão direita foi de 38,96±4,6kgf; e mão esquerda, 37,29±4,6kgf; para idosos aptos essa média para a mão direita foi de 38,63±4,3kgf; e mão esquerda, 35,82±5,5kgf. A FPM e a VM, além de marcadores de saúde, poderão ser consideradas importantes indicadores das condições físicas dos idosos motoristas e utilizadas como variáveis de rastreio e acompanhamento.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2022-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/5539810.23925/2176-901X.2021v24iEspecial31p201-221Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 24 (2021): NÚMERO ESPECIAL 31 - Velhices visíveis e o saber local; 201-2212176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/55398/40417Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Kairós-Gerontologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSecatto Davebida, Gabriéli Alves dos Santos, João PedroGuse de Godoy Rocha, Charles Binotto, Maria Angélica2022-03-30T15:47:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/55398Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-03-30T15:47:15Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
