Fine motor skills deteriorate due to different factors such as poor motor-o cu l o coordination, degeneration of the central nervous system. The objective of this research project was to evaluate the impact of a physiotherapeu t i c intervention using board games to improve fine and gross motor skills in geriatr i c adults. The assessments were applied to the 17 geriatric adults with a duration of 10 minutes in each person. The Purdue Pegboard test was used to carry out the assessment to determine the fine and gross motor skills of the upper limb, the Mini-Mental test was used to exclude people with dementia, the 6-minute walk test helped to evaluate the physical condition of the geriatric people, and the Lawton and Brody test was used to identify the level of activities of daily living performed by the older adults and, thus, to know how all these factors affect motor skills. The exercises were performed twice a week for 6 weeks. There was a predominance of the female sex with 58.80% over the male sex. The results indicated that there were significant improvements under the application of the intervention, data that was corroborated by the Sperman test p=0.95.Once the intervention was completed, it became evident that play therapy as a physiotherapeutic treatment helps to improve fine and gross motor skills in geriatr i c adults.

The present research project was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the relationship between temporomandibular joint disorders and the practice of wind instruments, the methodology of the study was a non-experimental design, cross - sectional and correlational type of quali-quantitative approach, two evaluations were used, Helkimo's clinical dysfunction index that through the interpretation of frequen t signs and symptoms in temporomandibular disorders allows knowing the level of dysfunction, and Rocabado's pain map that recognizes the painful sensitivity in eight specific zones found in the joint, these evaluations were applied to 40 musicians who are part of the Municipal Band of Ambato and the Symphonic Band of the Honorab l e Provincial Government of Tungurahua. Among the results obtained we found a slight limitation in the opening and sliding of laterotrusion and a severe limitation in mandibular protrusion, also the presence of articular noises and pain in the media l pterygoid and masseter muscles in their deep and superficial bundle, the areas with greater presence of painful sensitivity based on Rocabado's pain map were zones 3, 5 and 6 corresponding to the lateral collateral ligament, posteroinferior synovial and posterosuperior synovial respectively. It is concluded that most of the musicians presented a Helkimo index of moderate level and that the hours of study or practice of the instrument per day is the only factor that has a moderate positive signific a n t relation with the tendency to present a greater index of alteration.

During the pandemic caused by COVID-19, what is the highest rate of episodes of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation in critical areas, with prolonged periods of hospitalization, was recorded so far. Minimize contagion as far as possible, rejecting strategies that shorten the days on mechanical vent ilation. Tracheostomy is appreciated for reducing the time of mechanical ventilation, favoring weaning, lowering the mortality rate and avoiding injuries to the upper airway. However, few care centers were able to generate strategies that promote early dec oupling between the patient and the ventilator. This fact could explain the appearance of pathological signs such as chordal dysplasia, stenosis, granulomas, and dysphagia that alter the phonation, swallowing, and respiratory processes. Aspects such as a brief and timely diagnosis, generation of physiotherapeutic strategies that have been validated, with favorable repercussions and together with a multidisciplinary team specialized in dealing with this problem could address this population and prevent these sequelae from becoming a red flag for the health system. We present a brief description of what is documented to date on the repercussions of the airway in post-COVID-19 patients.
ALTERACIONES DE LA MARCHA EN PACIENTES CON RECONSTRUCCIÓN DEL LIGAMENTO CRUZADO ANTERIOR POR AUTOINJERTO: REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-03-18) Villacis Olivo, Luis Fernando; Cantuña Vallejo, Paúl Fernando
ACL rupture is one of the most common injuries in the current context and autograft reconstruction is the most commonly used rehabilitation method together with physiotherapy for physical rehabilitation; however, certain biomechanical alterations have been detected in the gait pattern of these patients due to the effects that the injury produces on the surrounding structures and this has resulted in the development of degenerative pathologies secondary to ligament reconstruction. Objective: To analyze the alterations in gait biomechanics in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction through different autograft techniques. Methodology: A systematic review based on the guidelines of the PRISMA method was carried out in the databases Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Springerlink, including a total of 11 articles. Results and discussion: Several gait alterations were detected in the patients analyzed in parameters such as angles of movement, joint range, tibial translation, moments of force and vertical ground reaction; with the knee flexion angle being the most evaluated. However, studies show discrepancies in several of the results found and, in addition, there is little or no information about hip and ankle biomechanics; so it is difficult to make a conclusion about a specific gait pattern for these patients.

The present research project deals with musculoskeletal alterations acquired by preprofessional practices in physical therapy students. Musculoskeletal disorders are conditions that occur in the tissues of different parts of the body due to physical and biomechanical factors caused by work demands. Physical therapy students are exposed to prolonged postures, repetitive movements and constant weight lifting at the time of their internships, negatively influencing their academic experience and thus causing signs and symptoms of an injury condition. A total population of 63 students studying between the sixth and seventh semest er academic cycles was obtained. The research uses a descriptive and transvers a l methodology since the students were evaluated only once in the academic cycle, besides having a quantitative approach since a standardized and structure d questionnaire such as the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used, in addition to the Numerical Pain Scale, which evaluated the perception of musculoskel et a l symptoms and pain intensity. The result was a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in students, and the most common regions were the lower back, neck and upper back. However, it is not clear that it is related to the pre-professional practice, since, in the relations hi p between the semester and pain, both in the last 12 months and last 7 days, and the numerical scale did not show differences between them. In addition, in this project it is not determined which are the risk factors that students are exposed to considering that there are psychosocial, labor and academic factors that influenc e d the answers. In conclusion, it can be said that the students do suffer from musculoskel et a l alterations due to the high percentages that were demonstrated, but it cannot be affirmed that they are a consequence of the pre-professional practices, but rather, that other influential factors should be taken into account.

Aging is linked to sensory changes in older adults, which affects their quality of life and can lead to disabilities. Currently, around 50 million people suffer from sensory impairments, a figure that is expected to increase to 82 million by 2030. These impairments include problems in the five senses (vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch), which are essential for perception and interaction with the environment. To improve the quality of life of older adults and their caregivers, it is crucial to implem e n t comprehensive health policies that address these sensory problems. This also involve s empowering people to reduce risk factors such as diabetes and cardiovascu l a r disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) offers programs to assess and reduce sensory and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Alcohol and tobacco use can aggravate sensory and memory problems, negatively affecting quality of life. Family caregivers play a critical role in the well-being of older adults with sensory impairment. It is vital to understand how these impairments impact their daily lives and to assess their sensory, mental and motor abilities to prevent falls and improve their quality of life.A recent study revealed that sensory impairments, especially in vision and hearing, have a major impact on the quality of life of older adults. Decreas e d vision can predict cognitive changes, and sensory impairments are associated with an increased risk of dementia. These impairments also affect independence, well-being and social interactions. Dysfunction of the sense of smell is related to cognitive and sensory impairment, affecting memory and verbal fluency, and may be an early indicator of dementia, also influencing nutrition and daily activities. Factors such as low schooli ng , declining physical performance and lack of social support increase cognitive and sensory vulnerability, making the support of health professionals, family and friends crucial to manage these dysfunctions.

The objective of this research project is to analyze the biomechanics of the movements in the activities carried out by the workers of the cutting and sewing supplier company of Plasticaucho industrial Ambato. The research carried out is of a prospective transverse quantitative type, carried out with a census sample of 15 factory workers from different areas. For data collection, sociodemographic data, questions about work activities, evaluation of isometric muscle strength with dynamometer and assessment of ergonomic risk level with the REBA method were used. An ergonomic risk level was obtained 11 workers had an average risk level, 2 in high and 1 in very high, so none were excluded from injury. The strength of the flexor muscles of the fingers and external rotators were related to ergonomic risk, that is to say the more strength they presented in these muscles the greater the risk of developing musculoskeletal alterations. The limitation of the study was that not all upper limb muscles were evaluated, recommending that future research if they do, likewise the company was recommended to include a program active break to improve productivity.

The present research work aims to analyze the biomechanics of farmers who use mechanical milking through ergonomic evaluations in order to relate it to the risk of suffering musculoskeletal injuries. The research has a quantitative approach where the kinematics and muscle strength involved in the work activity of 15 cattlemen were evaluated. The kinematics were evaluated through recordings of the Pre-Milking and Post-Milking sub-activities, choosing the most uncomfortable and repetitive postures, which were scored according to the classification of the REBA method, for their degrees of mobility, loads, repetitive movements and static postures, thus identifying a low or very high risk presented by the farmers in the activity of mechanical milking. The evaluation of muscle strength was evaluated with greater emphasis on the musculature that represents a greater activity in the mechanical milking work, such as: external and internal rotators of the shoulder, anterior deltoid, elbow flexor, finger flexor and finally the deep craniocervical muscles and those that maintain the neutral lumbopelvic position. Obtaining an average ergonomic risk rating of 8-10 that represents a high risk in their activities and in the muscle strength does not present a synergy between the agonist and antagonist muscles that could damage their health that can produce musculoskeletal symptoms in the long term, limiting them to develop their activities normally in livestock farmers.

The article reviews the importance of gait speed analysis in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a chronic respiratory disease that causes airflow obstruction and has significant impacts on quality of life and mortality. Walking abilit y is closely related to overall physical function and health, and in COPD patients, dyspnea and fatigue can affect their ability to walk, thus influencing their quality of life. The clinical relevance of this analysis is emphasized as it provides information on physica l function, exercise, and disease prognosis. Additionally, the results of a comprehens i v e literature review examining how gait speed correlates with disease severity, exercis e capacity, and quality of life in COPD patients are discussed. The findings suggest that higher real-world gait speed may be associated with a lower risk of severe exacerbatio ns , highlighting its potential as a prognostic marker and its relevance in the development of therapeutic interventions and public health strategies aimed at improving physica l function and quality of life in COPD patients.

The alteration of running kinematics in relation to the muscular resistance of the gluteus medius and maximus is linked to a high prevalence of injuries in amateur runners when they are in a state of fatigue. Furthermore, evidence mentions that intrinsic and extrinsic factors could contribute to injury risk. However, the variability of results obtained does not indicate that the influence of said muscles will cause kinematic changes. Therefore, the objective of this research project was to determine the relationship between running kinematics and resistance of the gluteus medius and maximus. An evaluation protocol was applied to 50 amateur runners between 18 and 60 years of age of both sexes. The variables analyzed were running kinematics (anterior pattern, extensor pattern and normal pattern), pelvic symmetry, and the strength of the gluteus medius and maximus in a state of fatigue. This research is analytical - prospective without intervention and had a transversal quantitative approach (strength/resistance of the gluteus medius and maximus) and qualitative (kinematics) that were correlated with the Spearman statistical test. The results obtained were that 76% of this population had a normal bilateral kinematic pattern, but when subjected to the fatigue protocol these changed significantly to 28% in the right limb and 12% in the left. Regarding the Spearman coefficient between kinematics and strength, it went from a low correlation in FGm ABD (0.103), FGm ROT-EXT (0.176), FGM ROT-EXT (0.128) to a medium correlation 0.319*, 0.320*, 0.298 * respectively, being something positive in this study. However, we can conclude that, due to the variability of the results obtained in the kinematic patterns, it may be due to multiple factors that reduce the effectiveness of the running gesture and not only the weakness caused by the gluteus medius and maximus when they are fatigued.

The research project aims to determine the kinematics of gait and its relationship with footwear wear in amateur runners. The kinematics of gait involves several parameters, for this reason we sought to relate it to the wear of footwear, for this the evaluations were applied in a population of 50 amateur runners between 18 and 64 years of age of both sexes. An endless treadmill was used to evaluate gait kinematics and an observational evaluation sheet to determine shoe wear; all of this was done in 30 minutes. The design of the research work is analytical, transversal-prospective with a quantitative approach, in this sense, a single evaluation was carried out that obtained numerical and categorical values that were related using the Spearman statistical test. The result obtained in the correlation of the study variables was not statistically significant, however, the relationship between right pelvic asymmetry (RPA) and right shoe wear (DCD) was p=0.048. In conclusion, a significant relationship was found between APD and DCD, which according to researchers is due to the different gait patterns, regardless of footwear wear.

The research project aims to compare the effects of passive and active mobilization on the flexibility of the dorsal column in older adults. The dorsal column presents different parameters, as older people tend to adapt to different postures, lose mobility, flexibility and become rigid, for this reason, we sought to compare passive and active mobilization, for this an initial and final evaluation was applied in a population of 40 older adults from the Chalata-Province Bolívar-Cantón Guaranda community, ≥ 65 years of age of both sexes, divided into two intervention groups. Passive mobilization and active mobilization with a resistance band and foam roller were used to evaluate theflexibility of the dorsal column and an observational evaluation sheet to determine flexibility, all of this was done in 30 minutes. The design of the research work is analytical, transversal-prospective with a quantitative approach, in this sense, an initial and final evaluation was carried out that obtained numerical and categorical values that were related using Pearson's R statistical test. The result obtained in the correlation of the study variables was significantly positive. In conclusion, a significant relationship was found in the finger-floor distance test on the right and left side in females, group A and B. According to researchers, this is due to the different postures of the spine, regardless of the activities of daily living.

This research work was carried out with the objective of determining which variant of the CKCUEST test is related to the results of the YBT-UQ test, so that it can be applied to the ecuadorian athlete. The evaluations were carried out on a total of 67 athletes between the ages of 15 and 46, 45 male and 22 female. The CKCUEST tests with three different measures were used; original measure of 91.4 (CKCUEST1), measure of the acromion (CKCUEST2) and measure of half the height (CKCUEST3) and YBT-UQ with its medial, superolateral and inferolateral ranges, for each side; dominant (YBTUQ_D) and non-dominant (YBT-UQ_ND), in order to assess the stability of the upper limb. The evaluations were carried out on three different days 3 to 7 days apart, each one after training with the athlete fatigued. This research has a quantitative approach, because the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ will be applied, obtaining numerical values that will be related by Pearson's parametric statistical test. It is of an observational type without intervention, because a comparison will be made in order to find a standard measure of the CKCUEST. It has a crosssectional design, since the data will be averaged, taking a single piece of data for comparison, and it is prospective because the athletes were directly evaluated.xiii As a result of the relationship between the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ, which was carried out by means of a Pearson correlation, statistically significant results were found in the relationship between the YBT-UQ and the CKCUEST3; YBT-UQ_D (p= 0.005), YBT-UQ_ND (p= 0.126) and YBT-UQ_T (p= 0.025), demonstrating that the variant that is related to the YBT-UQ is the CKCUEST3, corresponding to the measurement taken from 50 % of the athlete's height, in conclusion, the CKCUEST3 is the variant with which Ecuadorian athletes who use the upper body should be evaluated
