Item “Factores de riesgo que predisponen a la aparición de fibromialgia en el adulto mayor”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Terapia Física, 2020-03-01) Toainga Villaroel, Karina Anabel; Moscoso Córdova, Grace Verónica Lcda. Mg.Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is associated with chronic skeletal muscle pain, characterized by widespread pain at specific points, accompanied by fatigue, stiffness, memory problems, mood swings, emotional stress, sleep disorders; in addition to migraine, irritable bowel, infections, difficult diagnosis and almost no intervention in physiotherapy despite the fact that the main symptomatology is musculoskeletal, so it has been proposed to analyze the risk factors that predispose to the appearance of fibromyalgia in the elderly , the descriptive study was carried out in a group of 20 older adults, to whom a registration form was applied to know their sociodemographic data, the intrinsic factors possibly associated with fibromyalgia, and the clinical picture of pain and fatigue In addition, two fibromyalgia diagnostic questionnaires were applied in 1990 and the WPI. The results showed that only 2 patients suffered from fibromyalgia and the rest suffered from pain and discomfort that was associated with rheumatologic pathologies typical of the age of daily activities.Item “Relación entre las funciones cognitivas y habilidades motoras finas y gruesas en adultos mayores de la parroquia de Atahualpa y el Cantón Cevallos ”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Terapia Física, 2020-02-01) Chalco Vargas, Gabriela Alexandra; Ortiz Villalba Lcda. Mg., Paola GabrielaThe present work aimed to determine the relationship between cognitive functions and motor skills in older adults in Atahualpa and Cevallos - Tungurahua. The research belongs to the project “Neural plasticity and mechanisms of adaptation in the third age to preexisting pathological neurological conditions” from which the present study topic is derived, based on the macro project, with resolution number 0905-CU-P-2018. Older adults are a fundamental part of the society. It is essential to provide attention and security to this population and it is of social interest to study them because they are individuals who contributed to society for many years of their lives. The cognitive functions of them suffer significant deterioration over the years. In the research, a plan of physiotherapeutic treatment was applied that included physical and cognitive exercises of working memory, attention, concentration, perception and motor skills. In Atahualpa - Tungurahua 19 sessions were performed, 3 times per week with during 30 - 45 minutes per session for 9 weeks. In Cevallos – Tungurahua the period of intervention were 35 sessions, 4 times per week for 30 - 45 minutes per session for 12 weeks. According to the initial patients´ clinical conditions it was possible to incresa from 1 to 5 points in the Mini Mental State Examination.Item “Balón isométrico de cuádriceps: un prototipo de dispositivo para fortalecimiento muscular”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-09-01) Pino Montes, Christian Patricio; Latta Sánchez Lcda. Mg., María AugustaOsteoarthritis or knee osteoarthritis commonly known is a pathology of degenerative origin that afflicts 3.6% of the population worldwide, characterized by pain, edema in the joint and weakness of the quadriceps which prevents adequate mobility in patients. More often in the knee, there are several risk factors that favour its appearance as age, race, sex, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, overweight and occurs more frequently in female patients from 50 years. There are several treatment protocols that have been promoted by different authors, from pharmacological treatments to multicomponent treatments that include the use of strength exercises (isometric and isokinetic), balance and dynamic exercises; among which the use of isometric exercises in the first phase and isokinetic exercises in the second phase highlight, which allows a better compression in the joint. The period of treatment when using this protocol goes from 2 weeks and can be used in the home environment with periodic monitoring by the physiotherapist. To this end, an isometric quadriceps balloon has been created to help in the isometric exercises giving a better reach to the potential to help patients with this pathologyItem “Alteración de estrategias motoras asociadas a la marcha en el adulto mayor con deterioro cognitivo”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-02-01) Valverde Espinosa, Anaís Paulina; Cobo Sevilla, Verónica de los Ángeles Lcda MSc.This research aims as objective to establish the relationship that exists between the motor strategies associated with walking in the elderly and cognitive impairment. The study was carried out through the data of the Project “PLATFORM OF TV REHABILITATION FOR OLDER ADULTS WHO PRESENT DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH DEMENTIA DISORDERS, BASED ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES” approved with Resolution 0352-CU-P-2017; of which the data of the cognitive deterioration score (mini-cognitive test) and the capture of the movement of the elderly in which the performance of the exercises was observed was used. The alterations in gait are of great impact in the elderly, due to the cognitive deterioration that considerably affects the motor functions. This generates a high interest in this research, since we can obtain results of how the motor strategies associated with the march, and relating to the cognitive deterioration are manifested. The digital tv-rehabilitation platform is used, with current technologies providing reliable data. Was taken as reference “Proposal for the evaluation of motor control for people with movement disorders” for the preparation of the performance observation sheet of the motor strategies associated with the march, which that an analysis of the avatar was realized in movement, applying to eight elderly adults which cognitive impairment of the macro project. There was applied the coefficient of Pearson’s correlation to demonstrate, the correlation of the level of cognitive deterioration of the elderly with the alterations of the motor strategies presented during the marchItem “Correlación entre el deterioro cognitivo y movilidad articular de miembro inferior en adultos mayores que presentan trastornos asociados a la demencia.”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-02-01) Osorio Logroño, Valeria Alexandra; Latta Sánchez, María Augusta Lcda. Mg.Currently there are few relevant data on the topic in Ecuador, so that research is important since it will investigate on the cognitive decline and joint mobility of the lower limb in older adults who have disorders associated with dementia, since at the time of performing dual task or walking exercises these are motor acts where there is the combined action between cognitive function and the musculo-skeletal system. The research according to the method of study is descriptive and observational. In addition it is quali-quantitative as used the mini-mental test and the statistical data that shows the platform are handled. The study was conducted in the Telerehabilitation and Analysis Laboratory of the human body of the Physical Therapy Course at the Faculty of Health Sciences. The research line of this study is epidemiology. And it is concluded that there is a correlation between cognitive impairment and joint mobility of the lower limb, since all the older adults of the research have cognitive impairment and do not reach the standard values, therefore they have lower joint range.Item “Perfil epidemiológico del adulto mayor de la provincia de Tungurahua en el 2016”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2018-09-01) Villarroel Céspedes, Iván Santiago; Latta Sánchez, María Augusta Lic. Msc.The present research work developed in the epidemiological profile, as it tries to determine the parameters that influence constantly on the most vulnerable sector such as older adults, which was deemed health centers for this research the Ambato Canton, to the analysis of the data found leaked only first visits; in adults over the age of 65 years; whereas the following detailed pathologies as systems that affect the elderly are cardiovascular, muscle, skeletal, respiratory, endocrine metabolic, digestive, neoplasms, mental and neurological, organ of the senses, genito-urinary, skin and ematologicas. The type of research that is based on this work is descriptive for the purpose to determine and is the prevalence of pathological diseases of the elderly in Ambato canton, through access to the database of health (RDACAA) districts corresponding to the mentioned canton validated by means of the method of data leakage. The proposed research is quantitative type because the data collected must tabulate. This form and issuing criteria according to the speciality of physical therapy, the data analyzed are of great value to knowledge and it may propose best strategies that provide support both persons that require a specialist in this field, as for the researcher.
