Item LUDOTERAPIA EN NIÑOS CON SINDROME DE DOWN EN EL DOMINIO DE EQUILIBRIO(2025-02-27) Garzón Hidalgo María de los Angeles; Moscoso Córdova Grace Verónica; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaDown syndrome is associated with balance difficulties due to physical and neurological alterations, such as muscular hypotonia and ligamentous laxity, which affect motor development. Play therapy, which uses play as a therapeutic tool, has been shown to improve muscle tone, balance, and strength in these children. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of play therapy on the balance of children with Down syndrome. The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) test and the Psychomotor Development Test (TEPSI) were used on a sample of 25 children with Down syndrome, both boys and girls, aged between 3 and 12 years. The training program consisted of 12 sessions of 45 minutes, scheduled 3 times per week. The results indicate that playful activities improve both static and dynamic balance, with dynamic balance showing the greatest impact on the participants' daily lives.Item LUDOTERAPIA PARA MEJORAR MARCHA Y EQUILIBRIO EN LOS ADULTOS MAYORES DE LA PARROQUIA PASA(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-09-02) Pérez Paredes, Génesis Del Cisne; Latta Sánchez, María AugustaThe deterioration of the functional capacity, the alteration in gait and balance are the main factors that can generate risk of falls in the elderly, as well as alter their independence to perform activities of daily living, the play therapy has a traditional and fun approach to motivate the elderly to perform physical activity and through this to train gait and balanc e . Twenty-five older adults with an age range from 65 years old belonging to the Parroqui a Pasa participated in this research project, with a duration of 6 weeks with a frequency of 2 times per week, the participants executed the designed protocol of play therapy. Older adults were assessed pre and post intervention using the Timed Up and Go and Timed Unipodal Station tests. The approach of this research is quantitative in terms of data collection, non-experim ental and longitudinal. SPSS software used for statisti c a l analysis. The repetitions, completion time and difficulty of each game were gradual l y increased. The results obtained indicate that after the application of a play therapy program, gait and balance improved, reducing the risk of falls in the participants. In conclusion, inactiv i t y in the elderly deteriorates their motor functions, including balance and gait, so that the application of play therapy can be part of the routine in the elderly to reduce the risk of falls and future injuries.Item LUDOTERAPIA PARA MEJORAR LA FUERZA MUSCULAR DEL MIEMBRO SUPERIOR EN ADULTOS MAYORES(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-08-28) Machado Reinoso, Valeria Anabel; Cedeño Zamora, María NarcizaThe present research work consists of the description and analysis of the applica ti o n of play therapy in the muscular strength of the upper limb in older adults, develop e d in the gerontological center of the canton Tisaleo with a population of 25 particip a n ts of both sexes. The following research project was to analyze if the ludic activities are efficient in the improvem ent of the muscular strength of the upper limb in older adults, which was developed twice a week for 7 weeks with a duration of 50 minutes per session in th e gerontological center of the Tisaleo Canton. The research was developed with a non-experimental study of longuitudinal type because the initial and final values of the treatment plan were collected, which includ es a population of both sexes with age > 65 years, in the evaluation the dynamometer was used to evaluate the muscular strength of the upper limb, the Barthel index to identif y the independence and thus facilitate the development of the recreational activities, with a quantitative approach recording the values in Excel and obtaining the results by means of the SPPS program. The results of muscle strength in the upper limb were significant in older adults of both sexes, having a higher population in the age of 80-85 years in the male sex with an initial value in the right hand of 20.4kg to 22.5 kg, in the left hand with 19.0 kg to 20.4kg and in women in the ages of 75-79 years with a value of 18.7kg to 20.6 kg in the right hand and in the left hand with 16.3kg to 18.9kgItem ACTIVIDAD ES RECREATIVAS DE MESA PARA MEJORAR LA MOTRICIDAD FINA Y GRUESA EN PACIENTES GERIÁTRICOS(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-08-28) Venegas Cedeño, Marco Vinicio; Caiza Lema, Stalin JavierFine motor skills deteriorate due to different factors such as poor motor-o cu l o coordination, degeneration of the central nervous system. The objective of this research project was to evaluate the impact of a physiotherapeu t i c intervention using board games to improve fine and gross motor skills in geriatr i c adults. The assessments were applied to the 17 geriatric adults with a duration of 10 minutes in each person. The Purdue Pegboard test was used to carry out the assessment to determine the fine and gross motor skills of the upper limb, the Mini-Mental test was used to exclude people with dementia, the 6-minute walk test helped to evaluate the physical condition of the geriatric people, and the Lawton and Brody test was used to identify the level of activities of daily living performed by the older adults and, thus, to know how all these factors affect motor skills. The exercises were performed twice a week for 6 weeks. There was a predominance of the female sex with 58.80% over the male sex. The results indicated that there were significant improvements under the application of the intervention, data that was corroborated by the Sperman test p=0.95.Once the intervention was completed, it became evident that play therapy as a physiotherapeutic treatment helps to improve fine and gross motor skills in geriatr i c adults.
