Reprodutibilidade de medidas do controle inibitório, memória de trabalho e flexibilidade cognitiva em mulheres idosas

Introdução: A Função Executiva é expressa nas atividades do dia a dia por meio do controle inibitório, memória de trabalho e da flexibilidade cognitiva. Apesar da importância de avaliar essas medidas, existem divergências sobre a reprodutibilidade dos testes. Objetivo: Testar a reprodutibilidade do Stroop Color-Word Test, Teste dos Cubos de Corsi e Teste de Trilhas em mulheres idosas. Métodos: Trinta e cinco mulheres idosas realizaram o Stroop Color-Word Test (Controle Inibitório), Teste dos Cubos de Corsi (Memória de Trabalho) e Teste de Trilhas (Flexibilidade Cognitiva) com uma semana entre o teste e reteste. A reprodutibilidade dos testes foi determinada pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, coeficiente de variação, erro padrão da medida e inspeção visual dos gráficos de Bland-Altman. Resultados: O Stroop Color-Word Test apresentou valores satisfatórios quanto à reprodutibilidade apenas para as medidas congruentes e incongruentes, com valores excelentes de coeficiente de correlação intraclasse. O Teste dos Cubos de Corsi apresentou valores reprodutíveis com coeficiente de correlação intraclasse moderado e bom para a sequência e escore composto, respectivamente. O Teste de Trilhas apresentou valores reprodutíveis para as partes A, B e a razão (B/A), com coeficientes de correlação intraclasse entre moderado e bom. A inspeção visual nos gráficos de Bland-Altman demonstrou baixo viés em todas as variáveis. Conclusão: Os resultados do Stroop Color-Word Test, para ensaios congruentes e incongruentes, a sequência e o escore composto do Teste dos Cubos de Corsi, assim como a parte A, B e a razão (B/A) do Teste de Trilha são medidas reprodutíveis para mulheres idosas.
