Resumo
INTRODUÇÃO: Com o passar dos anos vem sendo observado um envelhecimento da população, com isso, se torna necessário uma atenção maior para esse público. A senescência é acompanhada por alterações fisiológicas que levam a ameaça da qualidade de vida, dentre elas o risco de queda, porém é possível intervir para reduzir essas implicações. Um possível método de intervenção seria o treino de equilíbrio com realidade virtual (RV). OBJETIVO: Compreender os impactos da utilização da realidade virtual na estabilidade postural de idosos que apresentam risco de queda. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura com busca nas plataformas PubMed, PEDro e LILACS. RESULTADOS: Após a pesquisa, foram selecionados 5 artigos, sendo todos eles ensaios clínicos. DISCUSSÃO: Com a leitura dos artigos, foram identificados diversos benefícios da utilização da terapia com realidade virtual, dentre eles a diminuição do risco de queda. Embora a RV possa trazer melhorias para a qualidade de vida de indivíduos com idade avançada, foi percebido que um plano de conduta adequado para o trabalho do equilíbrio no idoso deve envolver diversas funções e por esse motivo se destaca a importância da diversidade de métodos. Em vista disso, é essencial mesclar e associar práticas para alcançar as melhores evoluções nessa população. CONCLUSÃO: Com base nesses estudos, foi notado que o treino de equilíbrio envolvendo a RV promove impactos positivos na estabilidade postural em idosos. Sendo assim, pode ser compreendido como um método seguro e eficaz para ser utilizado nesse público.
INTRODUCTION: Over the years, the population has been aging, making it necessary to pay greater attention to this population. Senescence is accompanied by physiological changes that threaten quality of life, including the risk of falling, but it is possible to intervene to reduce these implications. A possible intervention method would be balance training with virtual reality (VR). OBJECTIVE: To understand the impacts of using virtual reality on the postural stability of elderly people at risk of falling. METHODOLOGY: An integrative literature review was carried out by searching the PubMed, PEDro and LILACS platforms. RESULTS: After the research, 5 articles were selected, being clinical trials. DISCUSSION: After reading the articles, several benefits of using virtual reality therapy were identified, including reducing the risk of falling. Although VR can bring improvements to the quality of life of the elderly, it was realized that an appropriate conduct plan for balance work in the elderly must involve several functions and for this reason the importance of a diversity of methods stands out. Therefore, it is essential to mix and associate practices to achieve the best developments in this population. CONCLUSION: Based on these studies, it was noted that balance training involving VR promotes positive impacts on postural stability in the elderly. Therefore, it can be understood as a safe and effective method to be used with this audience.
