Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of manual technique of NeuroSensory Posturotherapy (PNS) applied indirectly to vestibulocochlear nerve in the balance regulation of elderly. A cross-sectional study, including 53 elderly, with average age 73,5±7,0 years old, evaluated pre and post the application of the PNS on the Cyber-Sabots stabilometric platform, with opened eyes (OE) and closed eyes (CE). For the analysis of the variables obtained pre and post technique with OE and CE, the Wilcoxon test was used. The results showed that after applying the PNS with OE and also CE there was a decrease of posterior-anterior displacement (p <0.0001) and energy cost in the elderly (OE: p = 0.004 and CE: p = 0.020). It was concluded that there was a significant improvement in the static body balance of the elderly after applying the PNS, as OE as CE.
