Resumen
Introducción: El envejecimiento es un proceso dinámico, gradual, natural, e inevitable en el que se dan cambios anatomofisiologicos. El deterioro cognitivo es la pérdida de las funciones cognitivas, dependiente de factores fisiológicos como ambientales. La gimnasia cerebral consiste en una serie de ejercicios que buscan conectar los dos hemisferios cerebrales para obtener más atención y capacidad de reacción en el entorno. Objetivo: Establecer como la gimnasia cerebral influye en el funcionamiento cognoscitivo y el rendimiento de las ABVD en adultos mayores de la Fundación Casa del Hombre Doliente. Metodología: Es de tipo prospectivo y descriptivo, con enfoque cuantitativo, de diseño experimental y de corte transversal. Resultados: Se determinó las capacidades funcionales del adulto mayor mediante el índice de Katz, estableciendo que el 55.6% manifestó independencia en todas sus funciones. Se evidenció en la evaluación inicial que el 46,0% mostró una orientación temporal adecuada, mientras que la evaluación final posterior a la intervención mediante la gimnasia cerebral se pudo apreciar que dicho porcentaje ascendió al 77,8%.
Introduction: Aging is a dynamic, gradual, natural, and inevitable process in which anatomophysiological changes occur. Cognitive impairment is the loss of cognitive functions, dependent on physiological and environmental factors. Brain gymnastics consists of a series of exercises that seek to connect the two brain hemispheres to obtain more attention and reaction capacity in the environment. Objective: To establish how brain gymnastics influences the cognitive functioning and performance of ABVD in older adults from the Casa del Hombre Aching Foundation. Methodology: It is prospective and descriptive, with a quantitative approach, experimental design and cross-sectional. Results: The functional capacities of the elderly were determined using the Katz index, establishing that 55.6% showed independence in all their functions. It was evidenced in the initial evaluation that 46.0% showed an adequate temporal orientation, while the final evaluation after the intervention by means of brain gymnastics could be seen that this percentage rose to 77.8%.
