O equilíbrio e o medo de cair são dois fatores que têm sido descritos como estando interrelacionados e que condicionam a qualidade de vida de indivíduos idosos. O objectivo deste estudo é comparar o estado do equilíbrio e do medo de cair entre a população idosa institucionalizada e não institucionalizada, pela qual foram avaliados 30 idosos institucionalizados e 30 não institucionalizados. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Mini-Mental State Examination, o Teste de Tinetti (POMA I) e a Falls Efficacy Scale (FES). Tendo-se verificado diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os resultados de todos os testes obtidos para a população institucionalizada e não institucionalizada: POMA, equilíbrio estático (p=0,000), POMA equilíbrio dinâmico (p=0,000) e FES (p=0,000). Concluiu-se que os indivíduos não institucionalizados apresentam melhores índices de equilíbrio e menor medo de cair do que os institucionalizados. The balance and fear of falling are two factors that have been described as being interrelated, which affect the quality of life of elderly individuals. The aim of this study is to compare the state of balance and fear of falling among the elderly institutionalized and non-institutionalized population, in which were evaluated 30 institutionalized and 30 non-institutionalized. The instruments used were the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Tinetti Test (POMA I) and the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES). Having been found statistically significant differences between the results of all tests obtained for the institutionalized population and noninstitutionalized: POMA static balance (p=0,000), POMA dynamic balance (p=0,000) and FES (p=0,000). It was concluded that non-institutionalized individuals have more beneficial values than the institutionalized individuals.
