Sistema de actividades para la compensación de la memoria de trabajo en adultos con ataxia por trauma craneoencefálico.

Introduction: Working memory or operational memory is considered a distinct element of the executive function. Objective: To propose a system of activities that will contribute to the compensation of working memory in adults with Ataxia by craneoencephalic trauma assisted in CIREN.

Material and methods: A pre experiment with a single group was carried out, initial tests were applied to determine the cognitive deficits in the amnesic process, before implementing the strategy, and at the end of the intervention, the results were compared to quantify evolutionary development in the work of clearing of memory in these people with special educational needs.

Results: The results of the diagnostic analysis favored the interpretation of the need to implement corrective treatments – countervailing duties taking into account the allocation of the basic mechanisms of working memory to improve the prognosis of evolution of this amnesic skill.

Discussion: A system of activities is proposed as part of considering the diagnosis as an important element in the corrective compensatory work looking for restoration to the highest possible physical, psychological functioning and social adaptation of persons towards an optimal level of social integration.

Sistema de Actividades para la Compensación del Déficit Motor de las Habilidades Manipulativas en Pacientes con Parálisis Cerebral Adulta.

Cerebral palsy is the commonest cause of motor disability. Under this term are grouped people with special educational needs, who have in common a persistent disorder of tone and movement due to a non-progressive brain injury. Although cerebral palsy affects muscle movement, it is not caused by problems in the muscles or the nerves, but by abnormalities in brain impairing its ability to control movement and posture. In order to assess the influence of activities for the prefunctional motor deficit of manual abilities in patients with cerebral palsy, a therapeutic intervention was applied to 15 patients (7 men and 8 women) who had motor disorders in upper limbs. A quasi experimental 60 days study, conceived by 2 hours daily treatment was carried out. Initial and final qualitative functional scales of hands were applied to compare results. This novel therapeutic system influenced positively in the recovery of lost abilities as was statistically demonstrated.
