Coutinho, António; Fragata, Carla; Maio, David; Vivas, Inês; Gonçalves, MarisaObjectives: The objective of this research was to verify if there was a variation in the MFC (Minimum Foot Clearance) value among elderly with and without history of falls and, if there were any, verify which joint of the lower limb was responsible for that variation. It was also a main objective to verify if there was a correlation between the risk of falling, achieved through the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), a...

Coutinho, António; Fragata, Carla; Maio, David; Vivas, Inês; Gonçalves, MarisaObjectives: The aim of this study was to assess the changes that occur in the balance, fear of falling and kinematic parameters such as stride length, velocity and time support in elderly with and without a history of falling. Main objective was also to verify whether a relationship exists between changes in gait parameters evaluated, balance and fear of falling. Methods: The sample comprised 30 patients (15 w...
