To measure the extent of balance in the elderly

The programs of Physical Activity of municipal entitlement promote the physical exercise in the elderly. In this paper a procedure is contributed to value motor balance for the elderly by means of the standardized Tinetti scale that is used in geriatrics but not very common used in the Sciences of t...
