Hydrotherapy, Elderly, Functional stateAbstract
The objective of the study was to analyze the effects of hydrotherapy as an intervention in the functional status of the elderly. A narrative review research was carried out from the BVS database, in the LILACS database, using the descriptors: hydrotherapy; aged; and the booleans OR; AND. The search resulted in 4 articles to compose the sample following all eligibility criteria. Resulting in the beneficial effects of hydrotherapy on balance and maintenance of the elderly's motor skills. Concluding that hydrotherapy is an intervention proposal to be worked on in elderly people who have a deficit in their functional status and in healthy elderly people.
