    Reaprendizaje motor de miembro inferior para mejorar el rendimiento visoespacial en adultos mayores
    (2025-03-11) López Córdova, Andrea Mercedes; Ortíz Villalba, Paola Gabriela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de Posgrados
    According to CEPAL population aging is one of the main demographic phenomena in Latin America and the Caribbean, this group requires actions in several spheres, mainly in physical activities associated with activities of higher mental functions, especially visuospatial function. In the erderly motor relearning of the lower limb is considered as the set of internal processes associated with practice and experience that produce changes in motor activities related to visuospatial performance that allows us to analyze, understand and manage the space in which we live; will be the main axis of the investigation where 90 older adults from the Miñarica II and Huachi Grande Senior Clubs of the City of Ambato, Province of Tungurahua, participated; who were selected with non-probabilistic sampling with convenience selection, having a quantitative methodological approach because we are going to use instruments such as the MoCA test that will numerically indicate the performance of the cognitive abilities of the older adult, Tinetti scale that will assess walking and balance skills by scoring it numerically and Get up and Go that will allow us to have a diagnosis of the older adult's gait that contains numerical scores, It is a prospective, longitudinal, analytical and intervention study because a pre-test and a post-test will be applied after the intervention where motor relearning skills of the lower limb and visuospatial function will be analyzed. The results will be processed in the SPSS platform version 29.9 and the data will be analyzed with Student's t test for normal data and the Wilcoxon test for non-parametric data. The expected results will be to have improvements in said lower limb relearning and visuospatial function in each older adult; through intervention with a duration of at least 6 to 8 weeks to be able to have a significant change in visuospatial function in the elderly.

    Reaprendizaje motor para mejorar el equilibrio dinámico mediante la ludoterapia en el adulto mayor
    (2025-03-11) López Sánchez, Francisco Xavier; Latta Sánchez, Maria Augusta; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de Posgrados
    Aging worsens the balance which is related with physical functionality and motor skills specially of older adults incorporating walking speed and strength. Determine the effect of the motor relearning to improve dynamic balance through the ludotherapy in older adults. In Ecuador there are many places where people meet to do several activities related with occupational therapy directed to the upper limb but they don’t work with lower limb that’s the reason why this research is important, in our country about 30 to 40% of older adults have a high risk of falls and about the 0,4 % of total older adults population belongs to Ambato City. Motor relearning helps to older adults throughout the personal and interactive participation while they develop their activities in a sure context, based in systems theories, cognitive psychology and neuroplasticity, the ludic platforms what are applied in this research were taken from another research about square stepping exercises, they were adapted in a different easier system of activities. That program is composed of 5 phases that lasted 16 weeks distributed according to the type of activity, with a duration of 10 to 45 minutes for each activity established in the program. The statistics results show differences between the obtained data at the beginning and at the end of this research for Tinetti Test we can appreciate changes of 0,05; the same changes are observed between initial and final results of TUG test, based in this results this program improve the dynamic balance through the ludotherapy in health older adults.
