Introduction: Neuromodulation is a non-invasive technique that allows for the modulation of cortical excitability and can produce changes in neuronal plasticity. Its application has recently been associated with the improvement of the motor pattern in older adults individuals with sequelae from neurological conditions. Objective: To highlight the effects of non-invasive neuromodulation on the risk of falls and ...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the gait pattern of elderly women with and without fall-history, with high and low fear of falling, when exposed to a disturbing factor. Materials and Methods: Forty-nine elderly women without cognitive impairment agreed to participate. Participants were divided into four groups, considering the history of falls and fear of falling. Three-dimensional gait analysis was ...
Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Ceilândia, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências e Tecnologias em Saúde, 2019.; Introdução: fatores preditivos e protetores do risco de queda, na marcha geriátrica, sofrem influência de alterações neuromusculares, como o histórico de quedas, e fatores psicogênicos, os quais causam na marcha uma ação motora cautelosa, como o medo de cair. Objetivo: av...
Objective: To compare the effect of pilates and multimodalities on muscle strength and balance in the elderly. Methodology: Cross-sectional case-control study, conducted in Goiânia-GO, with 62 elderly women, divided into two groups: Multimodalities and pilates. The manual gripping force (FPM) and the balance were evaluated by Stabilometry. Results: The pilates contributed to higher FPM as well, demonstrated low...
