Abstract
The objective was to investigate the effect of functional physiotherapy program (FFP) on hemodynamic, anthropometric variables and functional capacity (FC) in hypertensive elderly women. Study subjects were seven elderly hypertensive women (68.1 ± 7.7 years). Anthropometry and blood pressure measurement were performed. To measure the FC were applied the six-minute walk test (6 MWT), the Timed Up & Go (TUG) and the step test (ST). After the FFP, reduction in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 77.7 ± 5.6 mmHg to 70.1 ± 8.2 mmHg and abdominal circumference (AC) of 95.6 ± 7.8 cm to 93.6 ± 7, 3 cm and increased 6 MWT of 438 ± 58 m to 506 ± 61 m were observed. It was concluded that the FFP contributed in DBP reduction and AC and FC, evaluated by the 6 MWT test in hypertensive elderly.
