    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-06-28) Sánchez Villacís, Erika Yazmín; Cedeño Zamora, María Narciza
    Falls represent one of the main causes of activity limitation, participation restriction and deaths due to involuntary trauma in the elderly, becoming a serious socio-sanitary problem, which requires the development of preventive and curative interventions for associated syndromes. to this phenomenon. In this way, it was proposed to establish the effect of a program of disturbance exercises aimed at balance training in older adults, through a descriptive study, longitudinal cohort and quantitative approach, on 30 older adults who actively participate in the Home Care Unit. “A New Life: Balance, gait and risk of falls were assessed with the Tinetti scale and the TUG test. Before and after applying the disturbance program reviewed and validated by expert judgment. The results reflect a clinical improvement in balance and gait of between 1 to 6 points, as well as a decrease in the risk of falls both in the Tinetti scale and in the TUG test, which were evidenced with significant differences between measures in balance, gait and risk of falls in both the Tinetti test and the TUG test. Thus, it can be concluded that a program of disturbances improves the balance and gait of the elderly, reducing the risk of falls.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-06-28) Pacheco Guzmán, Milton Alejandro; Reales Chacón, Lisbeth Josefina
    The actual research was carried out with the aim to handle the falling risk in the elderly without disability between 65 and 85 years old who live in rural areas and belong to the care unit “Dejando huellas con oro en su corazón” of the Ministry of the Economic and Social Inclusion. A pre and post evaluation was carried out with the Timed up and go (TUG) and Single leg stance tests. The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) adapted to balance developed warm-up and flexibility exercises, an initial walking program, muscle activation exercises, strength and balance. Two sessions per week were applied, lasting approximately 45 minutes each, over a period of 12 weeks. The T-STUDENT statistical test was applied using the IBM SPSS STATISTICS 20 system, in which a p<0,001 value was obtained in both evaluations, evidencing a significant decrease in the risk of falls after the intervention. The final TUG showed that the number of participants with a high risk of falling was 0 (zero), which decreased this condition by 20%, in the slight risk there was an improvement of 12%, while 32% of older adults who no longer present a risk of falling increased. The final SLST revealed that the 64% of the total study population was no longer at risk of falls.
