Evaluation of motor function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment: almost experiment

Abstract

Aimed at evaluate the effectiveness of psychomotor intervention on motor function in the elderly with Mild cognitive impairment, using the Motor Scale for senior citizens. It is almost in two experimental research basic health units. Evaluation with the scale in, before and after psychomotor intervention, 10 sessions, one per week, April through July 2014. Using SAS statistical software version 9.3.1. Kruskal-Wallis test, 95% confidence level, 0.05 significance. Results showed better performance in Fine motor skills, Spatial, Temporal Organization, in first and second evaluation. The Global Kinetics showed lower performance in two evaluations carried out. The Body Schema/speed and balance showed reduced performance in the first assessment, improving on Monday. The MLCN has obtained an average of 83.11 points on initial assessment and 90.72 points on Monday, down normal classification for migrating the normal average, confirming the hypothesis that the psychomotor stimulation improves motor function in the elderly with CCL.
