Item Evaluación funcional del adulto mayor con enfermedad cardiovascular durante la hospitalización: Revisión exploratoria(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Cardona Ramos, Hellen Danelly; Jiménez Arellano, Alejandra Yaneth; Vitery Ramos, Jenny del Rosario (Directora)A cardiovascular event can reduce or alter the functional capacity of people and, therefore, affect the proper performance in the physical, family, social and work environment. According to the WHO, it has defined the health of older adults by their functional capacity and not by their limitations, disabilities or illnesses. Therefore, the quality of life of older adults is closely related to the functional capacity and the set of conditions that allow them to participate in their own self-care, in social and family life. The aim of this study is to explore the existing evidence about the tests and scales of functionality used in older adults with cardiovascular disease during hospitalization who receive physical therapy treatment over the past decade. The evidence found to guide physical rehabilitation in older adult patients shows significant changes in the increase in functional capacity.
