Objective: To analyze the effects of the IREX virtual reality system on the functional capacity of adults over 65-75 years old. Methodology: A clinical study with 15 older adults was applied. Participants were asked for their free and informed consent to participate in the study. A total of 18 sessions were applied for a period of 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Each session was based on increasing functional capacity by incorporating virtual reality. A combined exercise treatment was carried out with the support of the IREX virtual reality system. Contribution: According to the results, the IREX virtual reality system facilitates the social insertion of the patient, granting greater autonomy to carry out their daily life activities, improving their quality of life and increasing their functional capacity, giving therapists a vision of the most relevant aspects of the IREX virtual reality system and its application in the field of rehabilitation
Objective: To analyze in a population of young university students of the Degree in Physical Therapy of the Polytechnic University of Pachuca the influence of BMI on postural, antero-posterior, mid-lateral and general stability through the use of Biodex Balance SD system. Method: Measurements of height BMI weight of all individuals were performed, data were presented by means of registration tables, then the results were classified according to the BMI that presented each of them separating them into low, normal and overweight BMI groups and their postural stability test results were compared between these normal groups and the results presented graphically. Results: According to the comparisons, it was noted that overweight is a determining factor in postural control, mainly in the anteroposterior index with a score greater than .06 over those of normal BMI and .1 of those of low.
Objectives General: to create a Pulmonary Physiotherapy Program to ensure that the patient with severe or severe post-COVID-19 disease with pulmonary compromise and, with oxygen supplementation, reaches their maximum functional capacity, which in turn facilitates the maximum degree of autonomy and improvement in health-related quality of life. Specific objectives: Minimize the sensation of dyspnea. Improvement of ventilatory mechanics, oxygenation and reduction of supplemental oxygen. Increased strength of respiratory muscles. Promote functional independence through improvement in cardiopulmonary capacity. Evaluate the impact of the program using the quality of life assessment scale. Methodology: Case report, quantitative, longitudinal and prospective. Contribution: The scientific contribution of this article focuses on the knowledge of non-pharmacological treatment (Pulmonary Physiotherapy) in the post-COVID-19 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
