(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-08-18) Cáceres López, Maribel; Marín Honorio, Maria Betty; Matta Solis, Eduardo Percy
Objective: Analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of occupational therapy in the cognitive deterioration of older adults with Alzheimer's. Materials and Methods: The design was an observational systematic review. The sample was made up of ten articles that met the selection criteria. The search was carried out in a high-impact database, using keywords and Boolean operators in the search. Results: Of the ten articles reviewed, 3/10 (10%) belong to the Asian continent (Republic of Korea). 5/10 (50%) were systematic reviews, 2/10 (20%) were randomized trials, 2/10 (20%) were longitudinal cohort designs, and 1/10 (10%) were experimental. 8/10 (80%) studies obtained significant favorable results, while 2/10 (20%) did not obtain significant results. The relevant factors to demonstrate the effectiveness of occupational therapy were the duration and number of therapies, likewise, it is necessary to individualize the type of therapy in the patient according to the degree of cognitive impairment. Conclusions: The studies reviewed show the effectiveness of occupational therapy in the cognitive deterioration of older adults with Alzheimer's.

Musculoskeletal symptoms and level of ergonomic risks in operators of a well exploration company in Lima, 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-09-26) Salguero Juárez, Evonny Lizbeth; Arrieta Córdova, Andy Freud
The work carried out by workers in various production environments should be performed in such a way as to avoid pain or injury to the workers' bodies. A discipline dedicated to this study is ergonomics, which helps determine the level of risk workers face in developing ailments based on how they perform their tasks. Physiotherapy can use ergonomic tools, as it provides valuable information not only on how injuries occur but also as a preventive measure for musculoskeletal disorders resulting from work. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the risks faced by workers, especially those who perform manual labor, due to the clear exposure and risks involved in their daily tasks.
