Resumen
La enfermedad de Alzheimer consiste en una degeneración progresiva e irreversible a nivel neural, provocando una desintegración homogénea y conjunta de la corteza cerebral. La evolución de la enfermedad es gradual e inevitable, produciendo un deterioro del individuo a nivel cognitivo, emocional y conductual (Alcántar, Reynoso, Ramos, Gómez, Miramontes, y Martínez, 2011).
Esta enfermedad no solo produce un deterioro físico, emocional y cognitivo en el paciente, sino que también supone un impacto psicológico y económico pasa su familia. El diagnóstico de esta enfermedad es difícil de asumir tanto por el paciente como por las personas de su alrededor, la familia en la mayoría de los casos son las que se encargan del cuidado del enfermo/a, muchos de ellos sufren lo que se conoce como el síndrome del cuidador quemado.
Cada vez son más las personas diagnosticadas con la enfermedad de Alzheimer y, a día de hoy no existe ningún fármaco que la cure o retrase, pero sí podemos hablar de terapias no farmacológicas que suponen un gran beneficio para los/as enfermos/as de Alzheimer.El siguiente trabajo es un proyecto de intervención que propone trabajar con personas que sufren la enfermedad de Alzheimer, desarrollando así una serie de ejercicios que estimulen sus capacidades cognitivas y físicas, con el objetivo de retrasar todo lo posible el transcurso de dicha enfermedad y mantener sus capacidades.
Alzheimer’s disease consists of progressive and irreversible neurodegeneration, causing a homogeneous and joint disintegration of the cerebral cortex. The evolution of the disease is gradual and inevitable, producing a deterioration of the individual at cognitive, emotional and behavioral level (Alcántar, Reynoso, Ramos, Gómez, Miramontes, y Martínez, 2011). Not only does this disease cause physical, emotional and cognitive deterioration in the patient, but it also has a psychological and economic impact on the family. The diagnosis of this disease is difficult to assume both by the patient and by the people around him, the family in most cases are the ones in charge of the care of the patient/a, Many of them suffer from what is known as burnt caregiver syndrome. More and more people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and, to this day, there is no drug to cure or delay it, but we can talk about nonpharmacological therapies that are a great benefit for the/as patients/as of Alzheimer’s. The following work is an intervention project that proposes to work with people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, thus developing a series of exercises that stimulate their cognitive and physical capacities, in order to delay as much as possible the course of that disease and to maintain its capacities.
