PROCESO PARTICIPATIVO DE LA GESTIÓN DEL PROYECTO DE VINCULACIÓN: PROMOCIÓN INTEGRAL DE SALUD Y BIENESTAR CON INTERVENCIÓN DE TERAPIA FÍSICA EN PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD FÍSICA

Abstract

There is interest in linking and intervention projects so that the country's universities promote attention to population sectors that lack resources and support. The Project "Integral Promotion of Health and Welfare of the Physical Therapy career of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador - Manos de Amor", is one example of this. The impact of the implementation of an individualized and personalized physiotherapeutic intervention is disclosed to 24 young people of the Jaime Roldos neighborhood, aged between 18 and 28, with neurological alterations; the young people are part of the Hands of Love Association. Postural education was provided for the prevention of musculoskeletal deformities in patients with neurological disorders. Transportation expenses for attending physiotherapy sessions were reduced.
