OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effectiveness of the rhythmic sound stimulation with focus on ludoergomotricity directed on 30 elderly women who have difficulties in performing skills in terms of coordination and speed, some body movements, synchronized to rhythmic sound stimulus. METHODOLOGY: this study was developed in a format or experimental design, with an evaluation before (pretest) and after (postest) an assessment, on 30 elderly women aged between 60-65 years, using the Test Pattern Rhythm (TPR), whose goal is to evaluate the perceptual-motor associated with the rhythmic pattern noise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: after 32 sessions of intervention which lasted 45 minutes, the analysis of variance used in this study revealed significant differences between Pre X Post-tests F = 3.04 and P = 0.021. There improves the performance of body movements, synchronized, rhythmic sound stimuli of study participants.
