| dc.description | Knee arthrosis is a degenerative disease that affects a greater number of older adults, causing pain and reduced mobility. Its global prevalence increases with the aging of the population and is one of the main causes of disability. In Ecuador, especially in Quito, more than 30% of people over 65 years of age suffer from this disease, with a significant increase in women. In Caluma, province of Bolívar, the situation is aggravated by the lack of professionals and resources, which worsens the quality of life of patients. The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of physical therapy on the quality of life of older adults with knee osteoarthritis at the GAD Caluma Social Assistance Unit, between June and September 2024. Identify effective therapeutic techniques that reduce pain, increase functionality and provide a treatment model applicable in areas with limited resources. The research methodology is descriptive and comparative, using deductive methods and a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of the physiotherapy program. The target population will be 30 older adults from the Social Assistance Unit of the GAD, of which 15 will be selected to participate in the sample. The results of this research will not only benefit the patients of Caluma but will also serve as a guide for the implementation of physiotherapy programs in other similar regions. | es_ES |

En Ecuador, especialmente en Quito, más del 30% de las personas mayores de 65 años padecen esta enfermedad, con un aumento significativo en las mujeres. En Caluma, provincia de Bolívar, la situación se agrava por la falta de profesionales y recursos, lo que empeora la calidad de vida de los pacientes. El objetivo de este proyecto es evaluar el impacto de la terapia física en la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores con artrosis de rodilla en la Unidad de Asistencia Social GAD Caluma, entre junio y septiembre de 2024. Identificar técnicas terapéuticas efectivas que reduzcan el dolor, aumenten la funcionalidad y brinden un modelo de tratamiento aplicable en áreas con recursos limitados. La metodología de la investigación es descriptiva y comparativa ya que utiliza métodos deductivos y una combinación de enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos para evaluar la efectividad del programa de fisioterapia. La población objetivo serán 30 adultos mayores de la Unidad de Asistencia Social del GAD, de los cuales se seleccionarán 15 para participar en la muestra.
