- Abstract
Introduction: Obesity can cause morphological alterations in the body that compromise postural control. Bariatric surgery is considered one treatment for obesity. Objective: To analyze through MiniBESTest the effects that change in the body mass could have on postural balance in obese submitted to bariatric surgery. Methods: In this cross-sectional cohort study with sample for convenience, 24 volunteers were divided into Obese Group (OG, individuals with grade II and III obesity); Overweight group (OG, overweight individuals) and Eutrophic Group (EG, eutrophic individuals). This research comprised two Stages. In Stage I, volunteers were submitted to physical evaluation followed by postural balance evaluation (MiniBESTest). In Step II, same evaluations done in Step I was repeated in OG 30 days after surgery. Mean values and standard deviation of weight, age, height, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index and score of MiniBESTest were compared between groups by the Analysis of Variance followed by Bonferroni multiple comparisons. Results: Before surgery, OG showed greater values of weight and BMI compared to the other groups, and greater value of waist-to-hip ratio compared to EG. Conclusion: Results showed that the loss of body weight 30 days after surgery not influenced the postural balance of obese evaluated by MiniBESTest.
