RESUMEN
El objetivo de esta investigación fue investigar las relaciones entre funciones ejecutivas y capacidad funcional y determinar los predictores motores de la deficiencia de las funciones ejecutivas en ancianos con enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA). 24 ancianos con EA fueron evaluados para estimar las funciones ejecutivas y los predictores motores. Se utilizó el análisis estadístico descriptivo, correlación de Pearson y regresión lineal múltiple. Las funciones ejecutivas se relacionaron con la flexibilidad (r = 0.54), equilibrio (r = 0.48), agilidad y movilidad (r = -0.41). El análisis de regresión apuntó equilibrio y flexibilidad como predictores motores de la deficiencia de las funciones ejecutivas. El prejuicio del equilibrio y la flexibilidad pueden predecir los prejuicios en funciones ejecutivas de ancianos con EA.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper was investigate the relationship between executive function and functional capacity and determine predictors engines for decline of executive functions in elderly patients with AD. A total of 24 elderly patients with EA were evaluated to estimate predictors engines. Descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson Correlation and multiple linear regressions was used. Executive functions related to the flexibility (r = 0.54), static and dynamic balance (r = 0.48) and with the agility and mobility (r = -0.41). Regression analysis pointed to balance and flexibility as predictors engines deficiency executive functions. The decline of balance and flexibility can predict the prejudice of the executive functions of elderly with AD.
