Cognitive and Psychomotor Stimulation in the Physical and Cognitive Function in the Functional Capacity of Older Adults

The population is increasingly older and this means that there are more and more dependent older people, for this reason it is necessary to achieve the best quality of life for the older adult population by promoting active and healthy aging.

Treatment and study plan

Cognitive and psychomotor stimulation

Other

Each cognitive stimulation session aimed to maintain and/or improve cognition through memory, language, executive functions, attention, concentration, and perception activities. All the people in the two groups performed the same cognitive stimulation activities adapted to their cognitive and sensory abilities.

The psychomotricity sessions were aimed at maintaining and/or improving the motor, cognitive, social and affective functioning of the person through activities that work on postural tone, body scheme, laterality, fine and gross motor skills, balance, flexibility, among others, adding a cognitive component. All the psychomotricity activities were adapted to the motor and cognitive abilities of the users.

Primary outcomes

  1. Tinetti Scale

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Scale for the assessment of gait and balance. Indicated for early detection of the risk of falls in the elderly. The higher the score, the lower the risk of falls. The maximum score for the gait subscale is 12, for the balance subscale 16. The sum of both scores for the risk of falls.

  2. Handgrip Strength

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Dynamometer will be employed to assess handgrip strength.

  3. MMSE (mini-mental state examination)

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    A tool that can be used to systematically and thoroughly assess mental status.

  4. TUG test (Timed Up and Go test)

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and physical function.

  5. The Lawton & Brody scale

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Evaluates independence and functionality in instrumental activities of daily life) such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, finances, medication, transportation and use of the telephone; and considers instrumental disability the inability to perform one or more activities. Each area is scored according to the description that best corresponds to the subject. Therefore, each area scores a maximum of 1 point and a minimum of 0 points. The maximum dependence would be marked by obtaining 0 points, while a sum of 8 points would express total independence.

  6. The Barthel Index

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Assesses functional dependence when performing basic activities of daily living (BADL), consists of 10 items with scores between 0 and 15 maximum each (Mahoney and Barthel, 1965). The highest possible score is 100 points, this being the greatest independence, if the score is greater than 60 the dependency is slight, if the score is between 40 and 55 the dependency is moderate, when between 20 and 35 points the dependency is serious and if it is less than 20 points the dependency is total.

Secondary outcomes

  1. BMI (Body Mass Index)

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Is calculated from the formula, Weight (kg) / Height2 (m2), whose unit is kg/m2. It is a rough indicator of total body fat.

  2. Body Weight

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    Is the sum of Body Fat and Fat Free Mass.

  3. Height

    Time frame: Up to twelve weeks

    It measures a person's height, measured from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
