* Group 1: Patients in this group will perform the water exercise protocol, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks.
* Group 2: Patients in this group will not perform any type of exercise during the 12 weeks of the treatment.

Variables related to muscular quality by ultrasound, frailty, physical function, independence in the activities of daily life, balance, cognitive function, quality of life and sleep, the social sphere will be evaluated, and the intensity of pain and fatigue, before and after12 weeks of intervention.

Conditions

  • Frailty Syndrome
