Brief Summary
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of eight weeks of cognitive motor training (dual task) in the risk of falls, balance, independence in basic activities of daily living (BADL) and handgrip in institutionalized elderly. Methods: The sample was divided in two groups: double task group (DTG), consists of five elderly, undergoing a training consists of motor and cognitive activities and control group (CG) consists of four seniors who underwent conventional kinesiotherapeutic training, based on global stretching and strengthening exercises, both held in 16 sessions.

Control Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORkinesiotherapeutic conventional treatment
Interventions
Initially an intervention consisting of double duty activities (motor-cognitive) and the control group will be subjected to a conventional treatment based on stretching and strengthening will be held.
Standardized global stretching and strengthening with squat exercise, plantar flexion in foot and elbow flexion supporting body weight in the hands arranged on the wall
