    The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between working memory and family communication in people with disabilities. A sample of 40 people, aged between 20 and 64 years, belonging to a day care center in Ambato, Ecuador, was used. The research adopted a quantitative, descriptivecorrelational, non-experimental and cross-sectional approach. The INECO Frontal Screening (IFS) and the Family Communication Scale (FCS) were used for data collection. The results showed that there is no significant correlation between both variables; the mean score in working memory was 2.20, while the mean score in family communication was 37.3. In addition, statistically significant differences were found in the perception of family communication according to sex (T (38) = 2.43, p < 0.05), with men reporting better communication in the family environment compared to women.

    “Habilidades motoras finas y gruesas y su relación con las funciones cognitivas en adultos mayores de la parroquia Picaihua”
    (2020-02-01) Aguilar Muñoz, Jessica Dayana; Ortiz Villalba, Paola Gabriela Lcda. Mg,
    The cognitive functions of the human being tend to deteriorate over time or due to the presence of pathological conditions, often affecting older adults. Thus, the objective of this research was to determine the relationship between fine and gross motor skills with cognitive functions in the elderly of Picaihua Tungurahua through physiotherapeutic intervention. Since, there is a higher prevalence in older adults due to their lifestyle and their high percentage of illiteracy. An intervention protocol was applied with a sample of 58 older adults, both men and women aged between 65 and ≥87, for 28 sessions, 3 times a week and each 40-45 minutes for 12 weeks. The evaluation was carried out at the beginning and at the end of the treatment through the Mini Mental State Examination. This treatment consisted of exercises of working memory, fine and gross motor skills, calculation, orientation and concentration, managing to increase from 1 to 5 points in the applied test according to the initial patients’ clinical conditions.
