Resumo: | <p>Correct posture is considered to be the alignment of the body with physiological efficiency and maximum biomechanics that minimizes the stress and overload on the support system caused by gravity. Posture is related to coordination, equilibrium and posture control. One of the main problems associated with human aging is the reduce ability to control the posture and the walk. Studies have shown an association between posture control and equilibrium alteration related to those over the age of 75. It is estimated that prevalence of equilibrium complains in this age group is 85% generating sible for approximately 70% of the accidentally deaths among the elderly. To arrive at an advanced age in life with functional independence is certainly a common desire of the individual to enjoy accomplishing his tasks. In this way, this article proposes to analyses the posture alterations emanate to aging and its clinical implications as a relevant factor for the elderly individuals quality of life and also an alert to plan preventative actions and cares for functional health. The topic is justifiable as an awakening to look at the necessary care regarding factors that intervene on posture alignment in the sense of preventing future repercussions.</p> |
