| Result expected at the beginning of the research: the experimental group (group participate in games with Nintendo Wii associated with conventional physical therapy) will present better results when compared to the control group, which will only conventional physiotherapy. Compared variables are: static balance, dynamic balance and propensity to falls. For the variable static balance test to be used will be the Romberg test, in which the individual must be in support bipedal for at least 30 seconds without support, with open and closed eyes, and on a stable and then unstable surface. The higher the time the best static balance. For variable dynamic balance the subject will be assessed by the Berg Balance Scale and must perform 14 different activities, such as getting up, sit, turn, walk up and down stairs without need any aid or device. The score ranges from 0-4 each item, generating a maximum total score of 56 points, and the higher the score the better the dynamic balance. For the variable propensity to falls the subject will participate in the test "Timed up and go", which consists of getting up from a chair, walk three meters, come back and sit). Hold the course in 10 seconds or less means no risk of falling, from 11 to 20 seconds means slight risk of falling between 21 to 30 seconds means moderate risk of falling and finally elapsed time above 30 seconds means high risk for queda.Os participants will be evaluated after four weeks of intervention. | — |

| It is expected that as a result the variables static balance, dynamic balance and prone to falls are better in the experimental group compared to the control group. Thus, it is expected that the individual in the experimental group can: 1) keep longer static balance in the Romberg test, in which the individual must be in support bipede for at least 30 seconds without support, with open eyes and then closed, and over a stable and then unstable surface. The higher the the best time the static equilibrium; 2) carry out 14 different activities proposed in the Berg Balance Scale without the need for any aid or device, such as stand up, sit down, turn, up and down stairs. The score ranges from 0-4, generating a maximum score of 56 points, and the higher the score the better the dynamic balance; 3) who can perform the test "Timed up and go" faster than the control group (this test consists of getting up from a chair, walk three meters, come back and sit). Hold the course in 10 seconds or less means no risk of falling, from 11 to 20 seconds means slight risk of falling between 21 to 30 seconds means moderate risk of falling and finally elapsed time above 30 seconds means high risk for falling. Participants will be evaluated after four weeks of intervention. | — |
