Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Decreased clinical vulnerability of the elderly after aquatic physiotherapy. The elderly attended by aquatic physiotherapy are less vulnerable than those who did not. The vulnerability is assessed by the Functional Clinical Vulnerability Index consisting of 20 questions with a maximum value of forty points, zero to three points being considered as robust; Four to nine points presents a risk of embrittlement; 10 points or more is in fragile condition.;Outcome found: There was a significant improvement regarding the vulnerability of the intervention group after aquatic physiotherapy. The mean value before intervention was 11.45 points and after 5.0 (p = 0.008). As for classification, there was a decrease in vulnerability in the intervention group in relation to the control (p = 0.015).;Expected outcome: Decreased risk of falls and improved mobility after aquatic physiotherapy. Older people who do aquatic physiotherapy have better mobility and less risk of falls compared to those who do not get evaluated by the Timed up and Go test in which the walking time is timed. Ten seconds or less indicates independence in gait and balance, between 10 and 20 independence and medium risk of falls, above 20 seconds gait dependence with high risk for falls;Outcome found: There was a decrease in the risk of falls and an improvement in the mobility of the intervention group after aquatic physiotherapy with a mean before aquatic physiotherapy 9.95 and post 8.93 (p = 0.002). As for classification, there was a decrease in the risk of falls and improvement in mobility in the group attended by aquatic physiotherapy in relation to that not attended (p = 0.012).;Expected outcome: Improvement of functional capacity after aquatic physical therapy. It is determined by the six-minute walk test in which the distance walked by the elderly person for a six-minute walk is measured.;Outcome found: There was no significant improvement in functional capacity after aquatic physical the | — |

| Expected outcome:Social and economic profile.;Outcome found: The mean age was 68.59 ± 6.31 years, the majority were women (75%), with incomplete first degree (75%), family income of 1 to 3 minimum wages (91.7%), The majority have diabetes and hypertension (66.7%).;Expected outcome: Satisfaction with care.;Outcome found: all participants in the intervention group rated between good and excellent care. | — |
