- Effects of sensory motor training of lower limb in sedentary elderly as part of functional autonomy A.A. Barbosa Rezende E. Fernandes de Miranda H. Souza Ramalho J.D. Borges Da Silva S.D. Silva Carlotto Herrera G. Rossone Reis E.H. Martin Dantas Medicina Elderly Motor activity Limited mobility Objective: Assess the effects of sensorimotor training on the functional autonomy levels of sedentaryelderly people.Methods: The sample was composed of 30 women (sedentary, functionally independent, = 65.03±4.93 year), divided randomly into two groups: control (CG, n = 15) and experimental (EG, n = 15). Testsdeveloped by the Latin American Development for the Elderly Group (GDLAM) were used to evaluateautonomy. The EG was submitted to a sensorimotor program three times a week, involving 24 thirtyminutesessions. Data were processed using the SPSS program, with a 5% significance level.Results: The EG showed a significant reduction in execution time in all the tasks, while the CG onlyobtained a significantly better score on the 10-M walk test. Although the EG improved in the GDLAMindex (% =−30, 3%, p = 0.0001), it remained at a “weak” level (GDLAM index >27.42).Conclusion: The results demonstrate that sensorimotor training reduces the execution time of tasks, aswell as improving functional performance in activities of daily living. 2015 artículo científico 1888-7546 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=323338744003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3233 Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte application/pdf Junta de Andalucía Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte (España) Num.2 Vol.8
