Abstract(s)
Contexto: O envelhecimento pode ser compreendido como um conjunto de alterações estruturais e funcionais desfavoráveis do organismo que se acumulam de forma progressiva. Pouco se sabe sobre a efetividade da hidroterapia na manutenção ou ganho do equilíbrio nos idosos. Por isso, houve a necessidade da realização deste estudo para atestar a sua importância. Objetivos: o objetivo consistiu em determinar qual a influência da hidroterapia na manutenção ou ganho de equilíbrio dos idosos. Metodologia: para a realização desta revisão bibliográfica a recolha foi feita nas bases de dados PEDro, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect e EBSCO (Sport Discuss e Cinhal). Após seleção segundo os critérios, a amostra final em análise foi de 10 artigos, todos observacionais, nos quais foi aplicada a escala “Critical Appraisal Skills Programme” para os classificar. Resultados: os programas propostos em água e solo parecem ser eficazes para promover a melhoria do equilíbrio no idoso, no entanto, esta eficácia foi mais evidente nos grupos onde se aplicou a hidroterapia. Conclusão: a hidroterapia parece ser um recurso fisioterapêutico eficaz no que se reporta ao ganho de equilíbrio nos idosos.
Context: Aging can be understood as a set of structural and functional changes harmful to the human organism that accumulate in a progressive way. Less is known about the efectiveness of hydrotherapy on the maintenance or gain of balance in elderly people. Therefore, there was the need to conduct this study in order to assess its importance. Objectives: the goal consisted in assessing the influence of hydrotherapy in the maintenance or gain of balance in elderly people. Methodology: to conduct this bibliographical revision, the gathering of information was made in the data base of PEDro, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect and EBSCO (Sport Discuss and Cinhal). After selection according to criteria, the final sample in analysis was focused in 10 articles, each one of them observational, in which was applied the “Critical Appraisal Skills Programme” scale to classify them. Results: the proposed water and ground therapy programmes seem to be effective to promote the increase of balance in elderly people, however, these results were more evident in groups where hydrotherapy was applied. Conclusion: Hydrotherapy seems to be an effective resource for physiotherapy in what concerns the gain of balance by elderly people.
