    Condición física y temor a caídas en adultos mayores con antecedente de trauma en una institución de Cartagena
    (2019-10-23) Mesino Castillo, Mileidys; Paternina Bravo, Elena Maria; Serrano Tafurt, Sheryn Beatriz; De Ávila Quintana, Luzdaris
    Introduction: Aging according to the WHO is the consequence of the accumulation of a great variety of molecular and cellular damage over time, which leads to a gradual decrease in physical and mental capacities, an increased risk of disease, and finally to death, this decrease in physical condition reduces availability to the performance of daily life activities, as the elderly becomes susceptible to falling due to the changes mentioned above, but in some cases this fear is so exaggerated capable of inhibiting a person from doing an apparently risk-free activity, turning this phenomenon into a vicious circle where the decrease in physical condition leads to fear of falling and fear of falling leads to physical deconditioning. Objective: Describe the physical condition and fear of falls in a population of older adults with a traumatic history of an institution in Cartagena de Indias. Methodology: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a quantitative approach, in which the physical abilities of this population are described individually by means of the Senior Fitness Test battery and the perception of fear of falling with a scale called Falls Efficacy Scale ( FES-I); The research was carried out at the Granitos de Paz Foundation in the city of Cartagena de Indias, in which older adults between 60 and 91 years of age participated. Results: This study was carried out in a population of 60 older adults, to whom their sociodemographic data were requested, the Senior Fitness Test and the Fes-1 were applied, after the application of these it was found that the predominance was the female sex with 73.7% (46 older adults) and 23.3% (14 older adults); with an average age of 72.8 years. Regarding the fear of falling, it was found that 70% of this evaluated population is somewhat worried about a fall, that is, 42 older adults, followed by 21% (13), who are quite worried about a fall. With regard to physical qualities in both sexes, it was found to be poor in the tests of flexibility of the upper limb and in agility and balance, highlighting that the other physical capacities are within or above the range proposed by Rikli and Jones (2001). Conclusion: it is important that studies continue to be carried out in relation to this problem with a higher level of complexity and in institutions with a greater number of population, and thus be able to establish the relationship between the results obtained from the physical condition and the fear they feel at the moment to carry out activities of daily life, allowing to create the relevant strategies to avoid the physical deterioration of this population and to promote it in the case of the individuals that still preserve it.

    En el transcurrir de los tiempos, el vértigo se ha considerado un motivo de consulta frecuente en los consultorios tanto de médicos generales como de otras especialidades; haciéndose cada vez más común en la sociedad. El tiempo de evolución que los pacientes suelen manifestar se convierte en un factor importante para visualizar la gravedad del que lo padece, pudiendo así actuar con eficacia mediante la planeación de una estrategia de diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuado con el fin de ayudarles a conservar un estado de bienestar óptimo que les permita encontrar salidas y soluciones a los problemas que les impiden desarrollar una vida normal. El vértigo es un trastorno que consiste en la pérdida de la orientación espacial. Es una falsa percepción de movimiento: la persona que lo padece siente sensaciones cinéticas ilusorias y la impresión de que el cuerpo o los objetos que le rodean se desplazan sin que en realidad exista movimiento alguno. El vértigo es ocasionado por diversas enfermedades por lo cual no obedece a una etiología única. Va acompañado de muchos síntomas, según la patología que le da origen. El tipo de sensación vertiginosa, junto a la presencia de estos síntomas acompañantes, orienta siempre de forma clara hacia una patología u otra, ya sea vestibular o no.

    OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effectiveness of ambulatory cardiorespiratory rehabilitation in patients with high spinal cord injury. METHODOLOGY: A search was made in the following databases: SCiensetDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar. In this way one of the selected studies was identified from the bibliographic reference of another previously selected article. Initially, a series of articles related to the research were selected from their titles and abstracts reviewed by the researcher in charge. Those studies that were not useful for the investigation were immediately excluded; the articles that had high relation with the subject to study were analyzed completely. RESULTS: During the investigation it was found that the articles selected for the achievement of the research objective had positive changes in the quality of life and cardiorespiratory functioning in all the participants. And also that the population under study in each article were mostly small populations with minimum amounts of 6 and maximum of 60. CONCLUSION: This literature review allows us to conclude that patients with spinal cord injury can improve their respiratory capacity, contributing to their quality of life, since the studies found allow the 100% effectiveness of cardiorespiratory rehabilitation. nevertheless, more research is required in this area to strengthen knowledge and promote adequate interv
