Objective: To compare functional performance and kinematic gait abnormalities in healthy elderly people and in elderly people with manifestations of the frailty syndrome, living in the community.
Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study. Fifteen elderly people, living in the community, participated in the study. They were separated into two groups, according to the presence of manifestations of frailty (n = 10) and control (n = 5). Data on functional performance, aerobic capacity, presence of frailty syndrome, and kinematic gait assessment were collected. Tests, such as: TC400m, dynamometry, and SPPB were used. For data analysis, the statistical package PASW 18.0 (SPSS inc) was used.
Results: The time in the 400m walk test was 11 seconds higher in the group with signs of frailty (p = 0.03), and handgrip strength was 25.8% higher in the group without frailty (p = 0.01).
Conclusion: We conclude that frail elderly people have a decline in functional performance in tests that assess aerobic resistance and muscle strength.
