Introduction: Although there is evidence on multifactorial interventions to prevent falls, there is a lack of randomized clinical trials involving good methodological quality and blind assessment for older people with high risk of falls in the Brazilian context. Objective: To implement an intervention based on case management focused on preventing falls in older people with high risk of f…
Introduction: Although there is evidence about multifactorial interventions in prevention of falls, there is a lack of randomized clinical trials involving case management to decrease potentially modifiable risk factors for falls in older fallers. Objective: To examine the efficacy of a remote intervention based on case management of falls on neuropsychological factors and its adherence a…
Two main health problems affecting elderly people are cognitive impairment and falls. The simultaneous occurrence of these variables can significantly impact the mental health and quality of life of elderly people, with cognitive impairment being an important risk factor for the occurrence of falls. Although previous protocols work on fall prevention, none have associated case management …
Introduction: The growth of the elderly population is a result of decreasing fertility rates andincreasing life expectancy. With aging, we can have significant associated risks, such as fallsrelated to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, focusing on high-risk elderly individuals. Objective:Verify potentially modifiable factors for falls in elderly individuals at high risk of falls. Method:Th…
With aging, there are biopsychosocial changes in the body and it is estimated that long-lived elderly people are more likely to develop or worsen depressive symptoms, due to sociodemographic and clinical factors. Objective: To assess the risk of depression and associated factors in elderly people over 80 years of age. Method: This is cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative research…
Among the most widespread diseases and involvement in the age group of 60 years or more, there is depression. Although the harmful effects on cognitive functions caused by this chronic disease are recognized, it is not known for sure whether depressive symptoms can cause cognitive declines over time, in order to alter the cognitive status of the elderly without initial dementia. Objective…

Introduction: One of the most common symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis is muscle weakness. Although some studies have examined asymmetries in lower limb muscle strength and their relationship to gait and falls, no study has investigated asymmetries across all major gait-related muscle groups and associations with impaired gait and falls in people with multiple sclerosis across d…
Given the diverse etiology and pathophysiology of dementia and its significant incidence, especially among older people, research is needed to characterize the care profile established for this public, their families and caregivers. Among the coping strategies that aim to provide better quality of life and cost reduction to the care center for patients with dementia, there are the success…
Falls are one of the biggest adverse factors for older adults' health, with approximately 30% of people aged over 65 years old falling at least once a year. Impairments in balance and gait are common in older people and important risk factors for falls. Furthermore, cognitive decline affects how well the individual will respond to situations where postural control is threatened. In this s…
