    According to CEPAL population aging is one of the main demographic phenomena in Latin America and the Caribbean, this group requires actions in several spheres, mainly in physical activities associated with activities of higher mental functions, especially visuospatial function. In the erderly motor relearning of the lower limb is considered as the set of internal processes associated with practice and experience that produce changes in motor activities related to visuospatial performance that allows us to analyze, understand and manage the space in which we live; will be the main axis of the investigation where 90 older adults from the Miñarica II and Huachi Grande Senior Clubs of the City of Ambato, Province of Tungurahua, participated; who were selected with non-probabilistic sampling with convenience selection, having a quantitative methodological approach because we are going to use instruments such as the MoCA test that will numerically indicate the performance of the cognitive abilities of the older adult, Tinetti scale that will assess walking and balance skills by scoring it numerically and Get up and Go that will allow us to have a diagnosis of the older adult's gait that contains numerical scores, It is a prospective, longitudinal, analytical and intervention study because a pre-test and a post-test will be applied after the intervention where motor relearning skills of the lower limb and visuospatial function will be analyzed. The results will be processed in the SPSS platform version 29.9 and the data will be analyzed with Student's t test for normal data and the Wilcoxon test for non-parametric data. The expected results will be to have improvements in said lower limb relearning and visuospatial function in each older adult; through intervention with a duration of at least 6 to 8 weeks to be able to have a significant change in visuospatial function in the elderly.
