    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.

    The purpose of this research work is the physiotherapeutic application through the Perfetti Method in older adults with mild cognitive impairment of the Geriatric Center of Canton Salcedo. This study is descriptive, observational and cross-sectional: The assessment instruments used were: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) that assesses the cognitive status of older adults and the Barthel Index (IB) to assess the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). A population sample of 10 older adults, 8 men and 2 women, between 61 and 87 years of age, with a low level of education is acquired. The IB results are an average of 88 points out of 100, which represents a low dependency to execute the AVD. The initial assessment of MoCA in this population gives an average result of 20.1 which corresponds to a Slight Cognitive Impairment. A program of basic cognitive exercises of the Perfetti Method is designed, with eight sessions of therapeutic application, lasting approximately 30 minutes. Finally, a final reevaluation is performed with the help of the MoCA test and an average result of 25.7 is achieved by framing a normal degree of cognitive impairment. This means that through the learning of tasks that include motor behaviors, and memory, healthy aging can be maintained.
