Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Knowing the effects of proprioceptive exercise program in improving balance, gait and risk of falls in institutionalized elderly.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study will be to determine the effects of proprioceptive exercise program in improving balance and gait as well as reducing the risk of falls in institutionalized elderly in a healthcare center. To evaluate this effect, a total of 45 subjects will participate in a longitudinal and controlled trial. Inclusion criteria will be over 65 years olds, be institutionalized in the center and have ability to read and write.

Thereafter, participants will be separated into two different groups (experimental and control). Randomization was performed using sealed envelopes with different numbers of intervention inside. Both groups will be evaluated both at the start of the first session and in the last working session.

The control group performed a geriatric revitalization program as the experimental group. Besides this one, experimental group performed a program of proprioceptive exercises. The intervention rate will 2 weekly sessions for 12 weeks for both groups (24 sessions), lasting 55 minutes. The variables analyzed were: the questionnaire risk of falls in hospital (MORSE), Tinetti scale, the test Timed Up and Go (TUG), the time of one leg and the Cooper test running 12 minutes.

The data analysis will perform using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS statistical software), version 19.0 for Windows, Chicago.

To determine the normal distribution of the data the Shapiro-Wilks test and comparison by ANOVA was performed. The values obtained in the pretest and posttest assessment for each variable will be compared by Student t test for related samples or by the Wilcoxon rank test.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

No propioceptive program

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group continued to perform their daily activities without changing any habit. Geriatric revitalization program without proprioceptive exercises.

Experimental

Propioceptive program

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

propioceptive program

Intervention Type OTHER

The training program has 6 specific proprioceptive exercises, each five minutes long, which will conducted in static and dynamic positions for a period of 30 minutes. Each exercise session will include 55 minutes (15 minutes of warm-up with slow walk, mobility and stretching exercise, followed by 30 minutes of a propioceptive exercises program, and finishing with 10 minutes of cool down through stretching and relaxation exercises)
