Brief summary
The study evaluated the impact of the intervention on psychomotor balance of elderly. The balance was evaluated by baropodometry, stabilometry and by Berg scale before and after the intervention. The results of discharge of weight and area of plantar surface before and after the intervention, showed no statistically significant difference. The surface area and speed step, before and after the intervention showed statistical significance. In stabilometry with closed eyes showed difference in parameters of average speed oscillatory; anteroposterior oscillation and surge area (Ellipse) and with eyes open there was no statistical difference. These results suggest that the psychomotor intervention was effective in improving the surge area, oscillatory average speed, oscillation anteroposterior and gait.
Interventions
Psychomotor Exercises are indicated to improve certain difficulties in the execution of movements. Exercises such as rolling, crawling, motor coordination, gait crusade will be performed. Strategies such as awareness through brief explanations of what these exercises improve including the balance will be used to ensure that there is adherence to research. It was performed in group sessions under caring for a physiotherapist. The volunteers performed the psychomotor exercises with duration of 60

Strategies such as awareness through brief explanations of what these exercises improve including the balance will be used to ensure that there is adherence to research. It was performed in group sessions under caring for a physiotherapist. The volunteers performed the psychomotor exercises with duration of 60 minutes, three times per week, during three months. After the end of the research, all the participants will return to re-perform the examinations of balance by Berg scale, stabilometry and even the baropodometry.
