Handgrip strength and the fear of falling in elderly / Força de preensão palmar em idosos e o medo de cair

Abstract

Objetivo: Verificar a relação entre a força de preensão palmar, o medo de quedas, e dados sociodemográficos e antropométricos entre indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais.Método: Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem quantitativa do tipo transversal realizado no município de Maringá – Paraná. Foram obtidos dados sociodemográficos e antropométricos, seguido pelo preenchimento do instrumento “Escala de Eficácia de Quedas – Internacional” (FES – I Brasil). A força de preensão palmar (FPP) foi determinada com dinamômetro manual digital (T.K.K. 5401 Grip-D, Takey®, Smedley; Tokyo, Japan).Resultados: Dentre os 258 indivíduos que participaram da pesquisa, a maior parte (66,28%) eram mulheres. 64% dos entrevistados mostrou grande preocupação em cair, apesar de aproximadamente 60% dos entrevistados apresentar FPP normal. Conclusão: Para os idosos hígidos a força de preensão palmar não influenciou no medo de cair, por ser uma medida subjetiva, não se relaciona com a capacidade muscular global para evitar quedas.
