Fernanda M. Coelho,F. M. S. Narciso,Daniela Matos Garcia Oliveira,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Antônio Lúcio Teixeira,Mauro M. Teixeira,Danielle G. Souza,Leani S. M. Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that being institutionalized has an impact on levels of inflammatory markers and correlate with hand grip in the institutionalized and community living Brazilian elderly.
Influence of sarcopenia and functionality indicators on the frailty profile of community-dwelling elderly subjects: a cross-sectional study Influência dos indicadores de sarcopenia e funcionalidade no perfil de fragilidade em idosos comunitários - um estudo transversal
Joana Ude Viana,Silvia Lanziotti Azevedo da Silva,Juliana Lustosa Torres,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Leani S. M. Pereira,Rosângela Corrêa Dias +5 more
TL;DR: The level of physical activity and gait speed appeared to be the most relevant factors in the development of frailty in the study sample, which may have functional implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Frailty and Falls on Functional Capacity and Gait in Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals
Silvia Lanziotti Azevedo da Silva,Joana Ude Viana,Vanessa Gomes da Silva,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Leani S. M. Pereira,Rosangela Correa Dias +5 more
TL;DR: Falls did not lead to injury in the majority of elderly individuals in the study and therefore did not aggravate the adverse consequences of frailty, and the study found that functional capacity and spatial-temporal variables of gait differed significantly between the groups with different degrees ofFrailty.
Impact of resistance exercise program on functional capacity and muscular strength of knee extensor in pre-frail community-dwelling older women: a randomized crossover trial Efeito de um programa de resistência muscular na capacidade funcional e na força muscular dos extensores do joelho em idosas pré-frágeis da comunidade: ensaio clínico aleatorizado do tipo crossover
Lygia Paccini Lustosa,Juscélio P. Silva,Fernanda M. Coelho,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Adriana Netto Parentoni,Leani S. M. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a muscle-strengthening program with load in pre-frail elder women with regards to the functional capacity, knee extensor muscle strength and their correlation was verified.
Clinical, functional and infl ammatory factors associated with muscle fatigue and self-perceived fatigue in elderly community-dwelling women Fatores clínicos, funcionais e infl amatórios associados à fadiga muscular e à fadiga autopercebida em idosas da comunidade
Juscélio P. Silva,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Fernada M. Coelho,Lygia Paccini Lustosa,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Leani S. M. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the importance of evaluation and treatment of modifiable factors in both muscle fatigue and self-perceived fatigue, seeking a better physical and functional performance of elders.
