简要总结
A randomised clinical trial is proposed, using a probabilistic allocation design to ensure an equitable distribution of participants between the different intervention and control groups, minimising bias and increasing the internal validity of the results.
The trial foresees the voluntary participation of a total of 60 subjects, selected on the basis of previously established criteria and meeting specific characteristics criteria previously established and who meet the specific characteristics required for the study. The distribution of the participants in the clinical trial will be structured into three groups with characteristics and specific objectives, among which the following groups are highlighted:
- Group 1 (G1) or control: This group will be composed of 20 participants who will not receive any specific intervention related to gerontogymnastics or occupational therapy programmes designed from occupational therapy.
- Group 2 (G2) or experimental with gerontogymnastics: this group will be made up of 20 participants who will receive exclusively an intervention based on gerontogymnastics.
This programme will include a series of exercises adapted to the needs of the older adult population, with an emphasis on population, with emphasis on improving balance, muscle strength, flexibility and motor coordination.
Group 3 (G3) or experimental: will be composed of 20 participants who will receive a combined intervention. This will consist of a gerontogymnastics programme, mentioned above, merged with a specific occupational therapy plan, in which exercises such as:
- Unipodal stability
- Gait re-education
- Muscle strength
- Stationary gait

结局指标
主要结局
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The MMSE is used to assess global cognitive function, identifying possible deficits in memory, language, orientation and attention on a scale from 0 to 30, where 30 indicates global cognitive function, and 0 may indicate severe cognitive impairment.
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The VAS is a tool used to measure the level of pain intensity perceived by the patient. It allows participants to rate pain on a numerical scale from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the maximum intensity.
Tinetti test
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Tinetti is a tool designed to assess the risk of falls in older adults. It examines postural stability and gait, allowing the identification of balance and mobility deficits that could compromise patient safety.
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The FIM is used to assess a patient's functional independence in various activities of daily living (ADLs), such as grooming, mobility and communication. It is a key tool for measuring functionality-related quality of life.
Joint position sense (JPS)
时间窗: 6 weeks
Assesses lumbar proprioceptive repositioning error using the IPhone inclinometer. Degrees
Daniels Test
时间窗: 6 weeks
This test is intended to assess muscle function, specifically the gluteus maximus, quadriceps and hamstrings. It is used to determine the strength and endurance of these muscles in relation to postural stability and gait on a scale of 0 to 5, where 0 indicates no strength or inability to perform the movement and 5 indicates normal strength or optimal muscle function.
Timed Up and Go (TUG)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The TUG is an assessment method used to evaluate functional mobility and balance. It consists of measuring the time it takes for a subject to get up from a chair, walk three metres, turn around and sit down again.
Borg Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Borg scale is used to measure the subjective perception of physical exertion during an activity. Participants rate their perception of fatigue as a function of exertion on a scale of 0 to 10.
