Based on the Alzheimer Disease (AD) prevention and slowing down, this study has shown interest in evaluating the effects of Global Postural Re-education (GPR) on the cognitiveness of individuals with AD.
OBJECTIVE: It is important to verify that by modifying and improving postural attitudes, a better concentration of cognitions in older people is achieved, increases self-awareness and proprioception.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research study is based on an experimental design where participated 135 subjects with AD. It lasted 6 months, with pre-post tests executed before and after the period of treatment.
RESULTS: The therapy had a significant effect on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Quality of life in AD (QoL-AD), Barthel Index (BI), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and Tinetti Scale scores (TS) compared to the ones of group factor. In the findings of post-hoc analysis it was observed: the improvement of treatment variables, MMSE scores, GDS, QoL -AD and BI (p corrected by Bonferroni <0.005 in all cases). Nonetheless, the improvement was also observed from the first month of therapy in TS scores and NPI (p corrected by Bonferroni <0.005 in all cases).
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the validity of the GPR proposal on the cognitiveness of individuals with AD.
