Influência de movimentos oculares sacádicos no equilíbrio postural de idosos praticantes de vôlei adaptado e idosos sedentários

Abstract

Human aging is characterized by several changes, both morphological as functional, which may result in a physical, functional, cognitive and daily life decline. Elderly people with significant sensory loss of vision and proprioception seem have difficulty to maintain a stable position. Many central nervous system structures share the involvement of eye and postural control, but the visual mechanism in charge of postural control are still unclear. There are conflicting evidence about the possibility of saccadic movements improve or deteriorate the postural stabilization and that physical exercise affects in postural control. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of horizontal saccadic eye movements of low and high frequency balance of elderly practitioners of adapted volleyball and sedentary elderly. Fifteen elderly practitioners of adapted volleyball and fifteen sedentary elderly were evaluated. The groups performed three trials in each sensory condition with a duration of 30 seconds each trial, in a standing position, barefoot, with bipedal base and feet shoulder-width apart on a force platform AMTI ®, which measured the corporal oscillations in 6 sensory conditions set according to the surface (stable base and unstable base) and the visual stimulus (fixation, slow saccadic movements and fast saccadic movements). The eye movement was recorded by an eye movement system ASL®. The results showed no significant differences between the groups, however, showed that in the stable base the corporal sway was significantly lower than in the unstable base. Regarding the influence of the visual conditions on postural control, that saccadic movements of low and high frequency reduced corporal sway when compared with the visual condition of fixing. We concluded that there were no significant differences in postural balance between elderly adapted volleyball practitioners and sedentary elderly, that when the support base is stable, ...

O envelhecimento humano é marcado por diversas alterações, tanto morfológicas quanto funcionais, as quais podem resultar em um declínio das capacidades físicas, funcionais, cognitivas e de vida diária. Os idosos com perdas sensoriais significativas da visão e da propriocepção podem ter dificuldade em manter uma postura estável. Várias estruturas do sistema nervoso central compartilham envolvimento no controle do movimento ocular e postural, mas a influência dos mecanismos visuais no controle postural ainda não estão claros. Existem evidências discrepantes sobre a possibilidade de movimentos sacádicos melhorarem ou deteriorarem a estabilização postural e de que o exercício físico interfere no controle postural. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a influência dos movimentos oculares sacádicos horizontais de baixa e alta frequência no equilíbrio de idosos praticantes de vôlei adaptado e idosos sedentários. Foram avaliados quinze idosos praticantes de vôlei adaptado e quinze idosos sedentários. Os sujeitos realizaram três tentativas em cada condição sensorial, com duração de trinta segundos cada tentativa, na posição em pé, descalços, com base bipodal e pés na largura dos ombros sobre uma plataforma de força AMTI® que mensurou as oscilações corporais em seis condições sensoriais definidas de acordo com a superfície (base estável ou base instável) e com o estímulo visual (fixação, movimentos sacádicos lentos ou movimentos sacádicos rápidos). O olhar foi registrado por um sistema de movimentos dos olhos ASL®. Os resultados não apontaram diferenças significativas entre os grupos, mas mostraram que na base estável a oscilação corporal foi significativamente menor do que na base instável. Com relação à influência das condições visuais sobre controle postural, observamos que movimentos sacádicos de baixa e alta frequência diminuíram significativamente a oscilação corporal quando...
