About this study
Official title: The Influence of the Support Group on the Functional Incapacity in the Prevention of Functional Decline of Aged Women.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the capacity of muscular function and articular amplitude in the aged women who participated in the Support Group and its influence on the prevention of function decline of these women.
Read the detailed description
To evaluate the capacity of muscular function and articular amplitude in the aged women who participated the Support Group and its influence on the prevention of function decline of these women is use the method: It is an interventional and quantitative research. A questionnaire of identification and instruments will use: a) flexion and extension tests of muscular function and articular amplitude of shoulders, elbows, wrists, hip, knees and ankles, in the beginning and in the end of the program b) educational action c) physical exercise d) the check up of the results after the exercises e) two questions to register the influence of the support group in the functional life of the researched ones.
