Robalino Morales Mg., Gabriela Estefanía,The adaptation and validation of the KTK Test, which was originally applied in children, was proposed as an objective to detect changes in body coordination in the elderly. The methodological process was developed with a systematic adaptation of this instrument, according to the physical and gross motor state of the elderly, reviewing scientific information; while, the items of the test questionnaire were remitted by a committee of experts who reviewed the manual and approved it through a revision file. Finally, the adapted test was applied to 200 randomly selected participants, so that the total scores between the Tinetti scale and the KTK Test were made and compared. These results were subjected to a statistical analysis to assess their internal consistency through the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, with the statistical SPSSv20, to know the reliability and internal consistency of the instrument. In conclusion, the KTK Test adapted to the elderly ¿, to detect alterations of body coordination, is reliable and has a high internal consistency by providing a value of 0.835 of the alphaItem “Aplicación móvil fisioterapéutica dirigida a cuidadores del hogar de ancianos sagrado corazón de jesús para prevención de úlceras por presión”.(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2018-06-01) De la Cruz López, Carmen Analía; Lic.
