A música interfere na execução de dupla tarefa em idosos saudáveis e neurológicos?

Abstract

Objective: To describe and analyze the influence of musical rhythm in the motor-cognitive dual task (TK) in healthy elderly subjects with neurological dysfunctions, comparing them. Methods: Elderly patients attended at UFRN / FACISA, were divided into three groups: Mild Cognitive Impairment Group (GMCI), Parkinson's Disease Group (GPD) and Healthy Elderly Group (GHE). Ten motor and cognitive instruments were used, a socio demographic questionaire and posturographic evaluation in 5 conditions: 1. Ortostatism, with open eyes, 2. Ortostatism, with closed eyes, 3. Ortostatism, speak months of the year from behind, 4 Ortostatism, talk the months of the year backwards with instrumental music, 5. Ortostatism, talk the months of the year backwards with pop music Results: The simple TUG presented higher value in the PD group (p = 0.05). The addition of cognitive task of verbal fluency (citation of months in a retrograde way) associated with instrumental and pop music, altered parameters of static postural control in the three groups, compared to the simple task condition with open and closed eyes. Conclusions: It was observed that the addition of pop and instrumental music altered posturographic variables in the elderly for the three groups in comparison to the simple task.
