Item “Efectividad de la intervención fisioterapéutica en la capacidad pulmonar y patrones respiratorios en los adultos mayores de la parroquia Santa Rosa-Apatug”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-09-01) Patiño Albarracín, José Emanuel; Espín Pastor, Victoria Estefanía Lcda. Mg.The main objective of this research was to determine the effects of the physiotherapeutic intervention on pulmonary capacity and respiratory patterns in the elderly of Santa Rosa-Apatug parish. An intervention plan was used in 25 older adults. With an average age of 75.44 years. Of which 16 were women. The treatment was based on Baduanjin exercises and postural re-education. It lasted 10 sessions, 1 session per week, with 30 minutes duration. Lung capacity and respiratory patterns were evaluated with spirometry. It was applied before and after the intervention. Saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate were also assessed before and after each session. Through a doctor. The risk factors to which the population was exposed were measured. With the application of a simple questionnaire. No statistically significant changes were recorded in terms of lung capacity, saturation, blood pressure, systolic and diastolic heart rates. Because the value of P was not less than 0.05. On the other hand, clinical changes were obtained in terms of respiratory patterns. Since in the initial evaluation the total of the participants had abnormal respiratory patterns. And in the final evaluation 72% obtained a normal respiratory pattern. It is also concluded that the sample was subject to risk factors throughout the investigation such as altitude, exposure to biomass, smoking, use of fertilizers, and a genetic predisposition.
