    ENTRENAMIENTO DE LA MUSCULATURA OCULOMOTORA EN EL EQUILIBRIO EN ADULTOS MAYORES
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-08-28) Sisa Morales, Rita Paola; Cantuña Vallejo, Paul Fernando
    The research project was developed with the objective of analyzing the effect of the training of the oculomotor musculature for the improvem ent of the balance in older adults of the Tisaleo Canton, for which an evaluation of a group of 25 older adults of which 13 were men and 12 were women, the Berg scale and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) were used to evaluate the state in which the balance and gait of the particip a n ts were found. The intervention lasted 7 weeks, two days a week for 45 minutes during which the participants performed 10, 20, 30 and 50 series of eye movements. After the intervention, it was re-evaluated to compare the results and observe if there is an improvem ent in the older adults. The research was developed under a non-experimental quantitative approach, cross - sectional since the data was collected observationally with intervention because a comparison of the results of the evaluations was made and to verify if there was an improvem ent, therefore the research design is longitudinal because the evaluati o ns were performed at different times, it is prospective taking into account that the evaluations and the intervention was applied directly to the participants. The results of the research show that there was a greater significance of 4 times greater probabi li t y of improvement in balance, demonstrating that oculomotor training is effective in improving balance.
