Resumo: Falls are multifactorial events, being described as a public health problem, in which about a third of people over 65 years old fall at least once a year, also being related to intrinsic, extrinsic and behavioral risk factors. Some elements capable of generating fear of falling in elderly people include changes in handgrip strength, health conditions and history of falls. Furthermore, muscle weakness in the lower limbs is a predisposing factor for deficits in postural balance, as this musculature plays an important role in stabilization during gait. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the handgrip strength and isokinetic muscle strength of the knee flexor and extensor muscles in elderly people with and without fear of falls. Elderly people (over 60 years old) were included, being submitted to the evaluation of sociodemographic data, muscle strength of the knee flexor and extensor muscles using isokinetic dynamometry, handgrip strength using the Jamar dynamometer, and fear of falling. through the Scale of Effectiveness of Falls - International (FES-I-BRASIL). The study included 40 volunteers with an average age of68 years, 32 women and 8 men. It was observed that there was no difference in knee flexor (p=0.66) and extensor (p=0.86) peak torque, as well as handgrip strength (p=0.08) between groups. Additionally, male volunteers had less fear of falling and greaterhandgrip strength and higher peak torque of the knee extensor muscles, when compared to female volunteers. Finally, it is concluded that elderly people with fear of falls do not have impairments in the handgrip strength function, as well as in the knee flexor and extensor muscles when compared to elderly people without fear of falls.

Alguns elementos capazes de gerar medo de cair em pessoas idosas incluem alterações na força de preensão manual, condições de saúde e histórico de quedas. Ademais, a fraqueza muscular de membros inferiores é fator predisponente para déficits no equilíbrio postural, visto que essa musculatura possui papel importante na estabilização durante a marcha. Assim, o objetivo foi avaliar a força de preensão manual e força muscular isocinética dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho em pessoas idosas com e sem medo de quedas. Foram incluídas pessoas idosas (acima de 60 anos), sendo submetidas a avaliação de dados sociodemográficos, da força muscular dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho por meio da dinamometria isocinética, da força de preensão manual por meio do dinamômetro Jamar® e do medo de quedas por meio da Escala de Eficácia de Quedas - Internacional. Participaram do estudo 40 voluntários com idade média de 68,9 ± 5,6 anos, sendo 32 mulheres e 8 homens. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve diferença significativa do pico de torque flexor (p=0,66) e extensor (p=0,86) do joelho, bem como a força de preensão manual (p=0,08) entre os grupos com e sem medo de quedas. Adicionalmente, os voluntários do sexo masculino apresentaram menor medo de quedas e maior força de preensão manual e pico de torque dos músculos extensores de joelho, quando comparados a voluntárias do sexo feminino. Finalmente, conclui-se que idosos com medo de quedas não possuem déficits na força de preensão manual, como também dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho quando comparados a idosos sem medo de quedas.Universidade Católica de Brasília2023-07-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/rbcm/article/view/1432810.31501/rbcm.v30i3.14328Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento; v. 30 n. 3 (2022)0103-171610.31501/rbcm.v30i03reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento (Online)instname:Universidade Católica de Brasília (UCB)instacron:UCBporhttps://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/rbcm/article/view/14328/11563Copyright (c) 2023 Letícia da Silva Lima, Marina Danielle Senna Souza, Ana Caroline de Oliveira Lima, Leandro Lima de Sousa, Antônio Neto Francisco da Silva, Karla Helena Coelho Vilaça e Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Silva Lima, LetíciaDanielle Senna Souza, Marina de Oliveira Lima, Ana CarolineLima de Sousa, Leandroda Silva, Antônio Neto FranciscoFerreira, Carlos Ernesto Santos Coelho Vilaça e Silva, Karla Helena2023-05-10T00:18:17Zoai:ojs.portalrevistas.ucb.br:article/14328Revistahttp://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/RBCMPRIhttp://portalrevistas.ucb.br/index.php/RBCM/oai||jr_lazer@yahoo.com.br2237-90020103-1716opendoar:2023-05-10T00:18:17Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento (Online) - Universidade Católica de Brasília (UCB)false
