Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expected outcome 1 - Phase I of the study: information about personal and clinical data of both groups, about comorbidities, pathological, surgical and functional history.;Expected outcome 2 - Phase I: Observation of evaluative measures of respiratory pressures and balance measures of the groups;Outcome found 2 - Phase 1: Patients in the study group have greater medio-lateral postural sway in the semi-static posture in the condition with reduced proprioceptive afferent and in the assessment of breathing, lower values were observed in relation to respiratory muscle strength when compared to healthy individuals.;Outcome found 1 - There was a greater number of comorbidities in the study group and an important frequency in relation to perineal surgery, a possible cause of the dysfunction. Other possible causes were present, such as obstetric trauma, but both groups were present. Complaints of falls and dyspnea were also more frequent in the study group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expected outcome 1 - Phase 2: After intervention, improvement is expected in relation to the results of clinical tests performed through manovacuometry, force platform and measured questionnaires to verify respiratory muscle strength and postural balance in the study group and in the control group, with variables measured by relative frequency , absolute and comparative tests.
