Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Functional status is the best indicator of the overall health status of the elderly person. Identifying these indicators as soon as possible is the best way to prevent functional decline and promote active aging and life expectancy free of disability. For this reason, there are strategies that are currently a priority in health systems. The special COVID circumstances eliminate the possibility of group work and invite the realization at home or individually of workshops or collective exercises In the field of physiotherapy, vestibular exercises have shown efficacy for improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in cognitively intact people without vestibular impairment, being a specific approach to vestibular rehabilitation for the reduction of dizziness and imbalances , as it facilitates the compensation of the Central Nervous System. physiotherapy intervention has been shown in various studies to be effective in improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in older people.
Also considering that the control of body balance in the elderly depends not only on the vestibular system, but also on the correlations between all the other systems, it seems interesting to add exercises with multiple components, since it would add effects of improvement in functional independence of people greater for daily activities and control of body balance.
Therapeutic physical exercise is an effective non-pharmacological strategy to improve the functional condition of the elderly and although it is known that there are various exercise modalities that improve physical function and quality of life, The Clinical Practice Guidelines emphasize the importance of multicomponent / multimodal exercise for this population group

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Thus, this set of interventions can be carried out by making an initial diagnosis of pre-frailty or frailty using instruments and simple validated tests. This is indicated or recommended in the guidelines from national and international societies. In this sense, we can avail ourselves of a comprehensive assessment of the VALINTAN tool (computerized comprehensive assessment of the elderly and used in primary care), whose axis is function, focuses on predefined diagnoses associated with effective documented interventions or with the fragility or functional loss. Currently the tool is open and freely accessible

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
A. Multi-conponente exercise
1. A 6-week therapeutic multi-component physical exercise program will be carried out. The ministerial guide will be followed by carrying out 5 weekly sessions (from Monday to Friday), offering the application through a web link of the weekly programming of the exercises for the patient (type of exercise, video of its execution, number of repetitions and description) having a approximate duration of 40 minutes.
2. Said sessions will be carried out daily and from the center a call was made at the end of the week to mark the follow-up and resolve any questions related to symptoms
multi component exercise in the clinic
Patients randomly assigned to this group have a pre-fragile or fragile SPPB condition, so they will perform:
3 days of empowerment work, 4 days of flexibility work, and daily walking aerobic work and balance work.
multi component exercise at home telerehabilitation
Patients randomly assigned to this group have a pre-fragile or fragile SPPB condition, so they will perform with the help of a video:
3 days of empowerment work, 4 days of flexibility work, and daily walking aerobic work and balance work.
B. Vestibular exercise
The vestibular exercises will be performed with the instructions of a physiotherapist, in sessions of about 20 minutes with 5 weekly sessions (Monday to Friday) consisting of 5 repetitions without fatigue of:
to. Head and eye movements while sitting. b. Head and body movements while sitting. c. Exercises standing. d. Combined exercises of modifications in steps, unstable surfaces and in progress.
and. Along with push up 30sec and squat 30sec All participants will have a weekly follow-up from Monday to Friday to control attendance and compliance via telephone.
