Item Método perfetti como estrategia de estimulación sensorio-visual para mejorar el equilibrio en los adultos mayores de la parroquia de Quisapincha(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2023-03-01) Chasag Guananga, Tatiana Alexandra; Cedeño Zamora, María Narciza Lic. MScThe objective of this project is to determine the effect of the application of the visual sensory stimulation strategy based on the Perfetti method on balance in older adults of the Quisapincha parish. This research has a qualitative-quantitative research approach of longitudinal descriptive type with the participation of 20 older adults, 3 of them were male and 17 were female. In this study, balance and gait evaluations were performed before and after the Perfetti Method intervention. This evaluation allowed us to know the level of risk of falling and the level of independence capacity to which the older adults belonged. The evaluation scales applied were the TUG test and the Berg balance scale and the intervention was based on the Perfetti Method with visual sensory stimulation, in which 8 weeks of intervention were worked. According to the Perfetti Method intervention in older adults, it was possible to see a change according to the established tests, a large percentage that belonged to the group of medium risk of falls went on to belong to a group of low risk of falls, implying a better quality of life. In conclusion, the Perfetti method allows us to recover through the central nervous system by means of sensory stimulation. Movement, attention and visualization are part of the process of recognition of the environment to the body, which is the means for the reception of information through the body surface and it is possible to obtain a response for the functional recovery of the participant
