Psychomotor intervention on eldelry with osteoarticular problems

Abstract

This work will be based on a literature review on the particular aspects of rehabilitation in the elderly suffering from osteoarticular problems of the lower limbs, specifically arthrosis. The aging process is associated with body knowledge and motor decreases, mainly cognitive and motor. These decreases will contribute long-term to the reduction of autonomy and individual functionality. Studies have revealed that age and obesity are the main factors of the appearance of osteoarthrosis in the joints of the lower limbs, specifically the knee joint. Through this work, we intend to reinforce the importance of psychomotor intervention in preventing the development of disease, as well as the multidisciplinary dynamics between various areas in health.
