Those phenomena, in turn, require the formation of qualified professionals to assist elderly people, like the physiotherapist. There are two ways of dealing with the elderly population: The first is the geriatric physiotherapy , focused on treatment and prevention of aging/old-age diseases; the second one is gerontologic physiotherapy , whose approach, being based on gerontology, involves, besides aging diseases treatment and prevention mode, the utilization of a perspective where the elderly is seen in a integral manner, considering her or his biological, psychological and social aspects. The differentiation is necessary and complex; it has contributed to the delimitation of the central objectives of this dissertation, that is to say, to situate Gerontologic Physiotherapy inside Physiotherapy, as well as to identify the characteristics of assistance in Gerontologic Physiotherapy. The method chosen was qualitative assessment, with exploratory-descriptive profile; for data collection, have been selected case study and participative observation , both longitudinally conducted under the perspective of gerontologic physiotherapy, involving 22 assistances on a female patient, 94 years old, widow, 4 children, housewife, congestive cardiac insufficiency (CCI), pain in the knee. Although specific, the outcomes were significant, involving, among other aspects, what could be called rebirth . Thus, the patient became lady of her desires , re-appropriating herself of the wishing condition, often denied to the elderly, despite the fact that such condition is age-independent. The investigation has demonstrated that whenever the physiotherapist orients her or himself after gerontologic physiotherapy s principles, the outcomes are quite satisfactory for physical, as well as for social, psychological, and existential aspects / O envelhecimento e a longevidade são fenômenos com importantes repercussões nos vários âmbitos da vida pessoal e social. Implicam, por sua vez, na formação de profissionais qualificados para atender o idoso, a exemplo do fisioterapeuta. Na fisioterapia encontramos duas linhas de atuação junto á população idosa: a primeira é a fisioterapia geriátrica , que tem como foco o tratamento e a prevenção das doenças próprias do envelhecimento e da velhice; a segunda é a fisioterapia gerontológica cuja abordagem, por estar pautada na gerontologia envolve, além do tratamento das doenças do envelhecimento e do modo de prevenilas, a utilização de uma abordagem em que o idoso é visto de forma integral, considerando seus aspectos biológicos, psicológicos e sociais. Trata-se de uma diferenciação necessária e complexa; diferenciação que contribuiu para a delimitação dos objetivos centrais desta dissertação, ou seja, identificar o lugar da Fisioterapia Gerontológica na Fisioterapia e identificar as características dos atendimentos da Fisioterapia Gerontológica. A opção metodológica adotada foi à abordagem qualitativa de perfil exploratório-descritivo; no que tange ao procedimento de coleta de dados, a opção recaiu sobre o estudo de caso e a observação participante , ambos de corte longitudinal e na perspectiva da fisioterapia gerontológica, envolveu 22 atendimentos em uma paciente do sexo feminino, de 94 anos, viúva, mãe de 4 filhos, dona de casa, com diagnóstico de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (ICC) e dor em joelhos (artrose). Apesar de pontuais, os resultados obtidos foram significativos envolvendo, entre outros aspectos, o que poderíamos batizar de renascimento do sujeito . Assim, a paciente tornou-se senhora dos seus desejos , se re-apropriando da condição de ser desejante ; condição tantas vezes negada aos idosos, mas que independe da idade cronológica. A investigação demonstrou que quando o fisioterapeuta se pauta pelos princípios da fisioterapia gerontológica, os resultados são muito satisfatórios, tanto nos aspectos físicos, como nos âmbitos social, psicológico e existencial

The present work is a new attempt to interpret on the episode in Genesis 18:1-15 by the method of narrative criticism. The general tendency on the narrative had focused on the exemplary act of Abraham’s hospitality interpreting it as his righteousness by the perspective of NT (Heb 13:2) or by the test motive of Greek Myth (the birth of Orion). The retributive theology was considered too much in interpreting the Fellowship narrative (Gn 18:1-15).These interpretations conflict with the narrator’s own theological views: (1) righteousness by faith (Gn 15:6), (2) God’s mercifulness to save Lot (Gn 19:29), and (3) God’s being gracious to make Sarah conceive (Gn 21:1). This study attempts to find out the author’s own interpretative view indicated in the whole Abraham narrative (Gn 11:27-25:11) as well as in the Fellowship Narrative itself (Gn 18:1-15).The present work is an attempt to interpret on the narrative by the method of narrative criticism. This study pays attention to the narrator’s various literary skills: “linking structure with preceding episode” (Gn 18:1a); “Sandwiched structure” of the larger context (Gn 18:1-21:7); Unique Plot Sequence; and Repeated Clue word and phrase (“laugh,” “Sarah,” ”this time next year”). These literary skills are understood to indicate the faithfulness of the Lord who tries to fulfill what he promised. The conclusion of this study overturns the traditional interpretations on the Fellowship Narrative. This work attests that Abraham showed his righteousness not by doing hospitality but by obeying God’s new command of circumcision out of willing heart as he used to obey the Lord’s commands having faith in the promise of the Lord (ch.5.3.2.2). The motive of God’s visit is to have the covenantal fellowship with obedient Abraham (ch. 2.1.6; 2.1.6.1). Abraham’s first moment recognition of deity is attested by interpreting of the technical pair verb, “And he lifted up his eyes and he saw and Lo!” (Gn 18:2a), which depicts prophetic experience of Abraham (ch.3.3). Abraham’s manner for the visitors is relevant to the higher ones (ch.3.3.2.1). The futile human endeavor without having faith is considered as the reason of being delayed of fulfillment of God’s promise (Gn 16). The fulfillment of the promised son was not attained by any human effort, but only by God’s merciful intervention in the Abraham narrative (ch. 4.4.4 and 4.4.5). / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Old Testament Studies / unrestricted
