The project aimed to perform and intervention, using physical activity, on the musculoskeletal system of elderly people in Osteoarthrosis treatment, and verify whether post-intervention patients presented improvement in their daily life functional capability, self-management and health autonomy. A mixed and interventionist method was implemented in the Urban Social Center of Jequie, BA, during the period March-June/2019, through a kinesiotherapy protocol, supported by instruments such as the Lawton Scale, Analog Visual Scale; semi-structured interview and clinical record and medical record for the treatment of five elderly women. The results showed positive impacts on the process of healthier longevity in the patients’ daily activities, in prevention/control of non-communicable chronic diseases, pain relief, and the significance of the interventionist method which provided the patients with the first proximal care actions.
