Resumo: <p><b>OBJECTIVE:</b> The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of Physical Therapy on reversing the elderly frailty and provide evidence for the benefits of this intervention.<br> <b>METHODS:</b> Randomized clinical trials were selected and retrieved on databases MedLine, SciELO, Lilacs and PEDro. The quality of the studies was analyzed and data extraction was done independently.<br> <b>RESULTS:</b> The results demonstrated a positive effect of Physical Therapy intervention on physical and functional ability of frail elderly, however there is no evidence of the reversibility of frailty.<br> <b>CONCLUSION:</b> The implementation of effective interventions can minimize the adverse effects of the syndrome in the population at risk. These findings suggest that efforts are more important for the prevention of frailty than for its reversibility.</p>
