| dc.description | Physical agents play a fundamental role in the functional recovery of the musculoskeletal system after any injury or trauma. There is currently sufficient scientific evidence of the role that these techniques play in osteoarticular conditions. Even with all these previous investigations, the effects that this set of treatments offers when addressing neurological pathologies remain in doubt. This group of diseases has taken great interest within the health system since it is associated with generating dependency and disability in the elderly population where this type of chronic-degenerative pathologies predominate. Among them, cerebrovascular event, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, etc. Physical agents in the area of physiotherapy are key to combat the symptoms that cause these diseases, contributing to pain relief, spasticity reduction, and muscle control. It is worth mentioning that among the physical agents is kinesiotherapy, which is responsible for body movement, becoming a fundamental pillar for the patient's recovery. It favors the neuroplasticity of the brain, where it generates new neural connections, with the aim of changing and adapting to the new ways of life that cause these pathologies. The present research study is entitled 'Effects of physical agents on patients with neurological pathologies at the Babahoyo gerontological center, period October 2024 - March 2025', its importance lies in analyzing the effects that physical agents have on these diseases considered disabling for a vulnerable population, older adults. To meet the objective, a non-experimental cross-sectional study was carried out, with a descriptive approach complementing two main types of research: documentary, focused on the review and analysis of existing information, and field research, aimed at direct data collection. The techniques applied included information collection, document review, application of surveys, and direct observation. The sample population consisted of 50 people and the work was done with a sample of 30 people. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | Los agentes físicos cumplen un papel fundamental en la recuperación funcional del sistema musculoesquelético ante cualquier lesión o trauma. En la actualidad existe suficiente evidencia científica del papel que cumplen estas técnicas sobre las afecciones osteoarticulares. Aun con todas estas investigaciones anteriores queda en papel de duda los efectos que este conjunto de tratamientos ofrece al abordar patologías neurológicas. Este grupo de enfermedades ha tomado gran interés dentro del sistema de salud ya que se asocia con generar dependencia y discapacidad en la población adulta mayor donde predominan este tipo de patologías crónicas-degenerativas. Entre ellas, el evento cerebro vascular, párkinson, esclerosis múltiple etc. Los agentes físicos en el área de fisioterapia son claves para combatir los síntomas que provocan estas enfermedades contribuyendo al alivio del dolor, reducción de la espasticidad y control muscular. Cabe mencionar que dentro los agentes físicos se encuentra la cinesiterapia encargada del movimiento corporal convirtiéndose en un pilar fundamental para la recuperación del paciente, favorece a la neuroplasticidad del cerebro donde genera nuevos conexones neuronales, con el objetivo de cambiar y adaptarse ante las nuevas formas de vida que ocasionan estas patologías. El presente estudio de investigación se titula ‘efectos de los agentes físicos en pacientes con patologías neurológicas del centro gerontológico de Babahoyo, periodo octubre 2024 - marzo 2025’, su importancia radica en analizar cuáles son los efectos que tiene los agentes físicos sobre estas enfermedades consideradas discapacitantes ante una población vulnerable, adultos mayores. Para cumplir con el objetivo se realizó un estudio transversal de tipo no experimental, con un enfoque descriptivo complementando dos tipos principales de investigación: documental, centrada en la revisión y análisis de información existente, y la de campo, orientada a la recolección directa de datos. Las técnicas aplicadas incluyeron la recolección de información, la revisión de documentos, la aplicación de encuestas y la observación directa. La población de muestra fueron 50 personas y se trabajó con una muestra de 30 personas. | es_ES |
