Abstract

Introduction: In the aging occur structural changes that may reflect in the functionality. Objective: To verify the effects of Postural School and Brief Education on the ADLs in participants of a university extension program for healthy older adults. Methods: The sample consisted of 26 elderly - 14 in Postural School Group (GEP) and 12 in Brief Education Group (GEB). Dynamic posture (Lady and ADLs observation instrument through video) and functional capacity (ODI) were evaluated. Results: In the intragroup analysis, comparing pre and post, there was significant improvement in posture to remain sitting on a bench and writing and total score in the GEP. In the intergroup analysis, no significant difference was observed between GEP and GEB at post test. Conclusion: Postural School appears to be more effective than the Brief Education to promote improvement in the execution of ADLs in active and healthy older adults.
