简要总结
This study has the objective to determinate the effectiveness of a specific exercise program on balance and functional capacity of the daily activities of institutionalized elderly.
It was a randomized controlled trial with a total of 21 elderly that were randomly distributed into experimental (n = 11) and control groups (n=10). The experimental group performed a specific program exercises during 4 weeks, while the control group wasn't subjected to any intervention. Evaluations were carried out at the beginning and end of the exercise program, for both groups. After the intervention there were no statistically significant differences between groups in total balance and dynamic balance subscale, except static balance subscale.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance
时间窗: 4 weeks
Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) This scale measures the static and dynamic balance, through the evaluation of some daily activities. This scale's scores are between 9 to 28 points, when 9 means hig risk of falling, and 28 means low risk of falling. It was used before and after the intervention.
次要结局
- Functional capacity(4 weeks)
