Abstract

The present study had the aim to establish a functional autonomy evaluation protocol throughout tests related with the realization of the activities of daily living (ADL). The sample was formed of 275 old women (`C = 66.33 ± 4.69 years old), volun- taries and independent on the ADL. Tests of functional autonomy evaluation protocol by Latin-American Development to the Maturity Group (GDLAM'S Protocol) were used. GDLAM'S Protocol was formed for C10m, LPS, LPDV and LCLC tests. The statistical analysis made by Quartiles established the autonomy GDLAM index (IG). The IG showed scores classifi ed on poor (+28.54), regular (28.54- 25.25), good (25.24-22.18) and very good (-22.18). The study admitted the level of p<0.05 for statistic signifi cance.
