Estimulación oculomotora con luces led en adultos mayores de 65 a 80 años con riesgo de caída en la Asociación de Personas con Discapacidad Física de Chimborazo. Periodo septiembre diciembre 2024.

Background: Balance in older adult decreases as they get older, thus presenting a greater risk of falling, and visual signals provide greater confidence to the older adult when walking. For this reason, this research was conducted with the objective of determining the effectiveness of an oculomotor stimulation program with LED lights in older adults at risk in ASODICH. Methodology: The research was conducted with a quantitative approach and a quasi- experimental design with longitudinal cohort measurement. Thirty older adults with high, moderate and mild fall risk were included. The Berg Balance Scale was used to assess the risk of falling. An intervention was carried out using led lights that signaled the path. The data collected were analyzed with IBM-SPSS version 29 software. Results: In the initial evaluation of the Berg Balance Scale, 76.7% of the older adults had a high risk of falling and 23.3% had a moderate risk of falling. After the intervention with the oculomotor stimulation program with LED lights, the results of the final evaluation showed significant improvements, with 16.7% reaching a mild fall risk, while 33.3% and 50.0% of the older adults still presented high and moderate fall risk, respectively. Conclusion: The research showed that the oculomotor stimulation program with LED lights improved the balance of older adults because the significance level was less than 0.005. The intervention significantly reduced the risk of falls in older adults, favoring healthy aging.
