| dc.description | The research was carried out in an analytical context and its main objective is to evaluate the physiotherapy approach in patients between 65 and 75 years of age with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis who are treated in the physical therapy area of the Gerontological Day Center "Adults in Activity" of the Montalvo Canton. This approach arises due to the loss of independence experienced by older adults in carrying out basic activities of daily living, associated with this degenerative disease related to human aging. To this end, a bibliographic review of the medical records of patients suffering from this condition in the physical therapy department of the geriatric center was carried out. This study is observational, descriptive and field. Data collection was carried out from the medical records of patients with a pathological diagnosis, using the WOMAC questionnaire to evaluate quality of life, goniometric assessment to measure the range of motion of the knee joint, and the observation to record the physiotherapy treatment applied to each patient. In addition, open interviews were carried out with both the physical therapy health personnel of the geriatric center and the older adults themselves. The results showed the presence of 35 patients with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis among the 65 people surveyed. The following data revealed that the application of specific physiotherapeutic techniques has proven to be beneficial in the management of knee osteoarthritis in this population, the reduction of pain, the improvement of functionality and the increase in quality of life are positive aspects observed in those patients who followed the physiotherapy treatment program consistently. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La investigación se realizó en un contexto analítico y tiene como objetivo principal evaluar el abordaje fisioterapéutico en pacientes de 65 a 75 años de edad con diagnóstico de artrosis de rodilla que son atendidos en área de terapia física del Centro Gerontológico Diurno "Adultos en Actividad" del Cantón Montalvo. Este enfoque surge debido a la pérdida de independencia que experimentan los adultos mayores en la realización de actividades básicas de la vida diaria, asociada a esta enfermedad degenerativa relacionada con el envejecimiento humano. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica de las historias clínicas de los pacientes que padecen esta condición en el departamento de terapia física del centro geriátrico. Este estudio es de tipo observacional, descriptivo y de campo. La recolección de datos se realizó a partir de las historias clínicas de los pacientes con diagnóstico patológico, utilizando el cuestionario WOMAC para evaluar la calidad de vida, la valoración goniométrica para medir el rango de movimiento de la articulación de la rodilla, y la ficha de observación para registrar el tratamiento fisioterapéutico aplicado a cada paciente. Además, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas abiertas tanto al personal de salud en fisioterapia del centro geriátrico como a los propios adultos mayores. Los resultados mostraron la presencia de 35 pacientes con diagnóstico de artrosis de rodilla entre las 65 personas encuestadas. Los datos siguientes revelaron que la aplicación de técnicas fisioterapéuticas específicas ha demostrado ser beneficiosa en el manejo de la artrosis de rodilla en esta población, la reducción del dolor, la mejora de la funcionalidad y el aumento de la calidad de vida son aspectos positivos observados en aquellos pacientes que siguieron el programa de tratamiento fisioterapéutico de manera consistente. | es_ES |
