Introduction: The aging process causes biopsychosocial and spiritual changes in the elderly associated with physiological decline, affecting systems such as skeletal muscle, decreased muscle strength, flexibility, joint changes and leading to functional disability. Osteoarthrosis of the knee is the major dysfunction that causes functional disability in the elderly. Objective: To evaluate the flexibility of the posterior thigh muscles in the elderly with knee osteoarthrosis, enrolled in the Social Responsibility Program Instituto Sênior. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study. The research was carried out in the period from April to June 2017 and was composed of 23 elderly people. The data were obtained through a flexibility assessment sheet, including: name, age, Finger-floor test and Popliteal Angle. Results: They showed that 91.30% presented the right member as preferred. On the Finger-floor test, the overall mean was 12.4 cm. In the popliteal angle test, it was observed that the right dominant limb (MDD) had the overall mean of 53.33°, and the left dominant limb (MDE) of 53.04°. Conclusion: A deficit of both dominant and non-dominant flexibility was observed, but when a comparison was made between MDD and DEM, it was found that the dominance side obtained more flexibility.
