Profile of articular mobility of old people of the city Boa Vista Roraima

This study aimed to evaluate the current state of joint mobility of 30 elderly women (62-87 / = 71.33 years) practicing physical activity. The measurements were evaluated by Goniometry using the LABIFIE protocol, in the following movements of the shoulder joint: Horizontal Flexion, Horizontal Extension, Abduction and Flexion. The statistical treatment was descriptive, with mean and standard deviation, using the program BioEstat 5.3. The collected data were classified in the GDLAM Normality Standard and compared, AAOS reference standards. Most of the results stand out for the prevalence of low joint mobility, within the GDLAM table. Except the FHO movement had the classification (very good, 100%) and surpassed the AAOS indexes. The angles of the joint movements of EHO, AO and FO of the elderly Roraimenses are below the national and international reference indices.
