| Abstract: | Institutionalized elders tend to have a higher dependency on the performance of basic
and instrumental activities of daily living, as well as a higher percentage of cognitive
defcit and poorer psychomotor performance. This short paper intends to analyze the
impact of a psychomotor intervention in psychomotor profle and three specifc components – motor prevalence, cognitive prevalence, and physical constraints, assessed by the
Examen Géronto-Psychomoteur (EGP) adapted for Portuguese population. The sample
consisted of nine elders (M=77.44yrs; SD=8.99) institutionalized in a nursing home residence, all with mild dependency and cognitive defcit. The intervention was conducted
for 30 group sessions. Each session was structured in fve moments: reality orientation activity, warm-up, core activity, cool-down and fnishing ritual. Data analysis was performed
with descriptive analysis and Wilcoxon statistical test. The results from data comparison in
pre- and post-intervention showed signifcant improvements in the psychomotor profle
and in the cognitive prevalence component. It was also checked the differences in each
elder person for the studied variables. This study aimed to enhance the understanding of
the importance of psychomotor intervention in geriatric care, particularly when integrated
within a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team. |
